I loved the idea of adding dried mint to red kidney beans after I used it in our Instant Pot Cypriot Stuffed Peppers so I had to give it a try myself! Sadly, I only had dried red kidney beans and I didn’t want to wait overnight to soak them so I made the whole recipe in my Instant Pot. The recipe uses ingredients similar to Rajma Masala but the list is not as extensive. I have not used turmeric, garam masala or fresh green chillies. Nor whole spices. Garlic – minced garlic. Tomato – crushed tomatoes or passata works well. To extract the best flavour, first, cook the onion and garlic really well then add the tomatoes and allow the tomatoes to cook until the mixture reduces. Then add the ground spices. Red Chilli Powder Ground cumin and coriander Cumin seeds Dried Mint – the mint sets this dish apart from Indian/Pakistani style Rajma. Use dried mint rather than fresh Black Pepper – optional. I have made this recipe both with and without black pepper and both ways taste really good.
Can I use tinned red kidney beans?
