Method:

Add olive oil in a large heavy bottomed pan on a low medium heat

Add cumin seeds, let them splutter for few seconds then add chopped red onion and sauté until it turns pink in color

Add tomatoes, mix well then add freedom spice blend, salt , pepper, turmeric powder mix again for about 3,4 minutes keeping heat on low medium at this stage sauté until oil starts separating from sides add red kidney beans with along with its water and 1/2 cup of water ,cover it with a lid and cook further for 10 minutes until gravy gets thicker in consistency. Add more water if needed

Once done add a generous amount of ghee, if vegan add coconut cream or vegan butter

Sprinkle some coriander leaves and serve it hot with rice or pita bread and enjoy

Notes:

I used pams red kidney beans in brine for this recipe
If you want this recipe to be creamier like restaurant then add 1/2 cup coconut cream
If you want sauce to be more smooth, you can blend the masala in a blender without red kidney and once the sauce is smooth then add red kidney beans and cook further in sauce adding more water only if needed then finish off with rest of the steps as mentioned above
I love adding ghee for good reasons but you can skip this part if you don’t like ghee, add butter instead
