Simple Bean Curry

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 chopped garlic cloves
  • Thumb-sized piece of ginger, chopped
  • 1 small pack of coriander, chopped
  • 1 tsp each of ground cumin and paprika
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 400g tin of kidney beans
  • Cooked wholemeal rice, to serve
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan, and gently fry the onion with some salt until softened and just golden. Add the ginger, garlic, and coriander stalks, and cook for 2 mins more. Add all the spices to the pan, and fry for a minute to release the aromats. Tip in the kidney beans (in their water) and the chopped tomatoes, and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 15 mins, until the sauce has nicely thickened. Season well, and serve with brown rice and a sprinkling of coriander.
