Kidney beans - 1 can, wash and rinse off the salt & preservatives
Tomatoes, whole - 1/2 can

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Garam masala or rajma masala or chana masala - 1-2 tsp depending on taste
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Servings: 3-4
Cooking time: 20 min

Method:
Heat the oil in a wok. Add cumin seeds when hot, and let them sputter. Add the onions and sautée until golden brown. Mix in the masala powder and fry for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, slowly break the whole tomatoes into pieces. Stir well. Cover and cook on a medium flame for about 10 min, stirring occasionally.
