Easy Freezer Meals | Rajma Masala-Indian Red Bean Curry (Easy Freezer Meals) @EasyFreezerMeals | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Welcome to Easy Freezer Meals. This week we are making a delicious Indian Curry that's spicy (if you want), creamy, delicious, and loaded with amazing flavor. It's called Rajma.
Rajma is a very easy recipe to make and it freezes great. This vegan dish is one of my absolute favorite Indian curries and we try to keep some on hand at all times. Generally it's served over rice but an be served over scrambled eggs, chicken, eaten with naan bread, or whatever you want. It's your Rajma!! (If you do get crazy I'd love to know how you ate it!!)

This recipe is an adaptation from a recipe I found at Smitten Kitchen. To see the original recipe you can click here: smittenkitchen.com/2009/02/red-kidney-bean-curry
Recipe:
3 pounds of dried Kidney beans or 6 -15oz cans of kidney beans
1/2 cup of pureed ginger or 1 Tablespoon of Ginger Powder
1 pound diced onion
1 pound diced tomato
2 Tablespoons minced Garlic
2 Jalapenos or serrano (seeds in for more heat)
2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt to taste at the end
2 cups (16oz) of tomato sauce
1 quart of saved liquid from cooking the beans or vegetable stock
1 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
I like to use dried beans because I can control the flavor and the texture. If you use dried beans let the kidney beans soak over night in cool water. The next day drain the water and cook in fresh vegetable stock (or chicken stock if you want) either in a pressure cooker or in a covered pot on a low heat till the beans are melt in your mouth tender but not mushy. After they cook save 1 quart of the liquid to use in the recipe for later.
If you are using canned beans then drain them and rinse well and set to the side for later use.
Sautee the diced onions, finely chopped peppers, and minced garlic till the onions begin to soften. Add the pureed ginger and stir to combine. Add all your seasonings and cook for a few minutes more. On a medium heat and simmering add the tomato sauce and cook for 5-10 minutes to develop the flavors. Add the beans, the diced tomatoes, and the reserved quart of bean cooking liquid (if you cooked your beans from a dry state) or 1 quart of vegetable/chicken stock. Finally add the chopped cilantro and mix well. Cook for 15-20 minutes and serve.
To freeze let it cool down and package in freezer friendly containers. We use vacuum seal bags but this dish can be stored in a zip lock bag if you want to. To reheat simply let this Rajma thaw and heat on the stovetop. If you get boilable freezer bags like I have then all you need to do is boil your bag for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!
