Afghan Kidney Bean Curry (Lubya)

Didn't have a lot of kidney beans but I like having extra sauce.

Use two pots the one to prepare the broth

Simple, fast, economical, and filling. It is very tomato forward and slightly bland, I tasted during cooking and adjusted to suite my families preferences. Highly recommend a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over top to finish.

Fairly simple and inexpensive but very satisfying recipe. I added a bit of lemon juice to add a little zing, and had to use fresh mint (from our garden!) since dried was tough to find. The flavors were good, albeit mild - so I think on the next round I’ll ramp up the spices! I may also add a little chopped carrot for a little sweetness.

I cheated and used passata and ground spices to avoid blending - sliced the red onion and cooked low for a good 10 mins to caramelise, added the spices and garlic, then added the passata, stock and beans. Upped the spices by about 50% too. It's ok, it's quite delicate in flavour, and it needs a decent amount of salt to bring the flavours out. Not the most exciting of dishes but ok, we'll have this again.

Will add more spice next time.

A bit bland
