Indian Style Beans and Rice
Beans and rice are one of my all-time favorite foods to eat and have appeared on my blog many a time. However, I've never taken the time to post the recipe. So finally, after months of photos, here it is...
-Heat oil in a pan, about 1 to 2 tbsp (my husband uses more and I use less) -Add 1/4 to 1/2 of a tsp cumin seeds -Add a small piece of cinnamon stick -Add 1/8 of a tsp of black mustard seeds and then wait until you hear it pop -Then add diced onion (I use 1 medium sized onion), stir together with other spices -Saute for 5 minutes until the onions are lightly golden (stir occasionally) -Add fresh, minced garlic (as much as you like) or garlic salt (3 good shakes if you use salt) -Add 1 (full) tsp of ground coriander/cumin mixture (we buy both seasonings and then mix them together) -Add 1/2 tsp of red chili (or more if you like it spicy) -Add 1 diced tomato (medium size) -Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of salt (or to taste) -Add a splash of wine (optional, its not traditionally a part of the recipe but we like it) -Stir mixture until it thickens and has cooked a while -Add a small can of tomato sauce -Continue to cook tomato mixture for a while longer, stir occasionally -Add 1 tsp of green masala spice paste (made by mashing ginger and green chilies together) -Add fresh lime juice (1/2 of one) -Continue to cook sauce over medium heat and wait until sauce has thickened considerably -Add 1 can red beans (or you can soak dry beans over night and pressure cook them the next day) -Add 1/4 C water (add another 1/4 C water if sauce is too thick) *If you desire a thicker gravy, you can also add cornstarch -Bring to a boil for 2 minutes -Turn off heat -Add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp yellow tumeric (make sure heat is off before you add the yellow tumeric) -Add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp garam masala (make sure heat is off before you add the garam masala) The end result: my lunch today! I served my beans over a bed of rice, but you can also eat them with naan...  I added a dollop of yogurt on top. Yogurt is good to help cool the spiciness of the beans and the tanginess of the yogurt also tastes good...  All mixed together, just the way I like it...  My husband and I serve this with a cucumber and tomato salad on the side. To make the salad: dice up cucumber and tomato into a bowl, sprinkle 1/2 of a lime's juice on top, add some salt and red chili. Enjoy!  related searches : Indian
