Kidney Bean Curry
If you're a vege these are a brilliant source of protein and fibre and loads of other good stuff. You can either get dried kidney beans or canned ones which you can cook straight away. If you are using the packets of dried kidney beans soak about a cup in plenty of water. They'll double in size overnight.The recipe is exactly the same as the chickpea curry recipe which you can find here.If you're using dried kidney beans from a packet ( rather than the canned version ) you'll have to cook them for 25 minutes in the pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker you'll have to cook them for 2 hours, keep checking that they don't dry out and add hot water if they do.
