Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 red onion peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- thumb-sized piece of ginger peeled and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 bay leaves
- 1-2 red chillies deseeded and finely chopped - adjust to your taste for heat
- 1 can (15oz/400g) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15oz/400g) coconut milk
- 1 can (15oz/400g) kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups spinach rinsed
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over a medium/low heat and fry the onion for about 7 minutes or until soft but not browned.
- Add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, bay leaves and chilli and cook for a further minute.
- Add the canned tomatoes and coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Stir in the kidney beans and heat for 3 minutes, then stir in the spinach and cook for a further minute to wilt. Stir in the lime juice and serve.
Notes
- The level of spice is 100% controlled by how much red chili you’d like to add. For a curry that is completely free of spiciness, omit the red chili completely.
- Stir in the spinach last and let the heat of the curry wilt it down rather than adding it at first. This will prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Make sure you drain and rinse the kidney beans well as if the liquid from the can is added to the curry it will change the texture.
