•

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as avocado or canola

1 cinnamon stick
•

1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
•

1 medium red onion, finely chopped
•

1 cup crushed tomato
•

½ teaspoon red chili powder

•

½ teaspoon ground cumin
•

½ teaspoon ground turmeric
•

½ teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon himalayan sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

In a food processor, combine the serrano chile, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Process into a chunky paste.
Heat the oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick and cumin seeds and cook until they start to sputter, 1 minute. Add the onion and cook for 1–2 minutes, until starting to soften. Stir in the serrano-ginger-garlic-cilantro paste and cook until the onion is translucent, 4–5 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes and cook until they start to release their juices, 3–4 minutes. Add the red chile powder, ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, and salt.
Add the kidney beans, along with their liquid, and the water and mix well to combine. Cover and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, temper the yogurt with a few spoonfuls of the hot rajma, mixing well. Add the yogurt mixture to the rajma and stir to incorporate.
Cover, increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, and cook for 5–10 minutes, until warmed through and the flavors meld. Season with more salt to taste.
Add the garam masala and ghee. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency, 5–7 minutes.
Garnish with more cilantro. Serve hot with chawal (rice).
