Ingredients
Steps
Pop the cumin in the hot oil, then fry the onions 10 minutes until deep golden.
Add the ginger-garlic paste for 1 minute, then the tomato purée and ground spices; cook 8 minutes until the oil separates.
Add the beans, water, and salt and simmer 15 minutes, mashing a handful of beans to thicken.
Finish with cilantro and more garam masala if it needs lift.
Cooking the masala until the oil separates is the flavor step — don't rush it.
