Kidney Beans Jalfrezi
Toasted spices, golden-seared Kidney Beans, and the classic kadhai rhythm — fry, splash, cover, reduce — builds a masala that tastes like it simmered all afternoon.

Season, add a splash of water, and simmer covered until the Kidney Beans is tender and the sauce has thickened.
