How to make it

  • Heat the oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Rost the cumin in the oil until it begins to brown (I would be careful because I think I cooked it too much and it got bitter. Maybe it's better to heat the oil to hot, and turn it down to medium, then stir-fly the cumin just for a few seconds).
  • Sprinkle in the asafoetida and the onions. Stir-fry about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and golden. Add the chili and the ginger-garlic paste and mix well.
  • Add the beans to the pot, sprinkle in the turmeric, and stir-fry another minute.
  • Add the tomato paste and the garam masala and mix well. Cover the beans with water, add some salt (the book doesn't mention how much. I thought it needed quite a bit, but maybe that's because I burned the cumin and it tasted bitter) and bring to a boil. If you used pre-cooked or canned beans, it should take aobout 10 minutes, if you add dry beans, it should take 40 minutes. If you use dry beans, add more water so it doesn't dry out. The beans are ready when they are cooked but not falling apart. To thicken the curry a bit, mash the beans a bit with a fork.
  • To serve, add the yogurt and mix well. Garnish with the coriander leaves.
