Method

  1. Heat ghee. Sizzle cumin seeds, then soften onion. Add garlic and ginger 1 minute.
  2. Stir in chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, chilli powder and salt. Cook until thick.
  3. Add drained kidney beans and black beans with water. Simmer 25 minutes, mashing some beans against the pan.
  4. Stir in butter, cream and garam masala. Simmer 5 minutes more and serve.

Shopping tip

Urad dal (lentilhas pretas inteiras) is uncommon. Feijão preto and feijão vermelho in cans are the realistic Continente path. Ghee or manteiga plus natas finish it.
