Kidney Bean and Rice Curry

My friend posted this on Making Home Work and after ordering the Garam Masala from SpiceSage.com (free shipping!) we tried it and it will now be on the menu more often! Of course, I tweaked the recipe, I tweak everything anymore.

Kidney Bean Curry
A Delicious & Nourishing Indian Dish

Ingredients
3-4 tbls. oil
1 onion chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
2 minced garlic
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp curry (or tumeric)
1 heaping tsp garam masala (found in Indian grocery stores or perhaps International section of your local grocery)
2 cans kidney beans (don't drain)

Prepared Rice


Directions
Fry onions in large pot until translucent (about five minutes). Add ginger, garlic and tumeric, fry for one minute. Add tomatoes and remaining spices. Let simmer for ten minutes until oil separates from spices. Add kidney beans and salt to taste. If there isn't enough curry, add a little water. Simmer for 1/2 hour and serve with Basmati or Jasmine rice.

Optional: add a variety of vegetables. I added grated carrots, and roasted red peppers. To learn how to roast a red pepper click here Sometimes I add spinach.
