1 teaspoon Ajwain Carom seeds, optional
Red Onion
1 medium Red Onion Finely chopped
Ginger Garlic Paste
1 tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste Or crush together four large cloves garlic and a one-inch knob of ginger
Tomatoes
3 large Tomatoes Pureed, or use 2 cups canned tomato puree
Turmeric
0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
Cayenne
0.5 - 1 teaspoon Cayenne Or any red chili powder, like Kashmiri chili powder. If very sensitive to heat, you can use paprika
Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Ground Coriander
1 tablespoon Ground Coriander
Amchur
1 teaspoon Amchur Mango powder
Red Kidney Beans
30 ounce Red Kidney Beans From two 15 oz cans, or 1 cup dried kidney beans, cooked
Chana Masala Powder
1 teaspoon Chana Masala Powder Or garam masala
Kasoori Methi

Instructions
1
Heat oil in a wide skillet or saucepan. Add the ajwain or carom seeds and sauté for 30 seconds.
2
Add the onions to the pan along with some salt. Sauté over medium high heat until they are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add ginger garlic paste and mix it in for 30 seconds.
4
Pour in all of the tomato puree, then mix in the turmeric, cayenne, ground cumin, ground coriander and amchur (mango powder).
5
Cook the tomato onion sauce, stirring frequently, until almost all the moisture has evaporated.
6
Add the kidney beans to the pan along with two cups water or, if you cooked the kidney beans from scratch, the cooking liquid. If you don't have enough cooking liquid from the beans just add more water until you have two cups.
7
Bring the rajma to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes. If the curry feels too thick for your liking you can add more water. Rajma should be a little soupy but not watery.
8
Add the kasoori methi and the chana masala powder and mix them in. Finally, add fresh cilantro, mix, and check for salt. Stir in the optional butter, if using. Turn off heat and serve hot.
