Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil (15 mL)
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 Tbsp garam masala
  • 1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes (425 g)
  • 1 13-oz can coconut milk (400 g)
  • 1 15-oz can kidney beans, drained (425 g)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce (10 mL)
  • ½ tsp salt (optional)

To Serve

  • White rice
  • Cilantro
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prep: If serving with rice, cook the rice according to package instructions to have it ready when the curry is done.
  2. Flavor Makers: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and garam masala. Cook and stir until the onion softens and the mixture becomes fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Filler Uppers: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, drained kidney beans, and soy sauce. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste the curry and season with salt as desired to enhance the flavors.
  4. Serve: Spoon the kidney bean curry over warm white rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten the dish.
