Rajma Dal is a delicious dish I experienced in Northern India, perfect for winter and pairs well with rice or bread. This recipe uses a blend of spices and red kidney beans, creating a hearty meal that's full of flavor.
1: Toast the spices in a dry pan and then set aside.
2: Fry onions in olive oil for 5 minutes.
3: Add garlic and ginger, stir for a minute.
4: Add spices and tomato paste, cook for another minute.
5: Add the tinned tomatoes and mix well.
6: Add the beans and their juices.
7: Bring to a gentle boil and let simmer until thick, about 20-25 minutes.
8: Season to taste and top with a drizzle of cream, pickled onions, cashews, and coriander.
