If using dried kidney beans, make sure to soak them overnight. Drain and rinse them before cooking.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another minute until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and blend well with the onions.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine all the spices.
Add the soaked kidney beans to the pot. If using canned kidney beans, make sure to rinse them before adding.
Pour enough water to cover the beans and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until the kidney beans are tender.
Check the consistency of the gravy and adjust salt and spices according to your taste.
Once the kidney beans are cooked to your desired tenderness, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve the Quick Easy Rajma hot with steamed rice or naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
