I actually had the exact experience as you. I also used to buy the spice mix until I realized I could make it at home with the spices in my cupboard. In fact I keep the mix box in my recipe file and just add the spices listed on the back. You are right. This is amazingly good.

Just had for dinner, taste great and super easy to make. I had everything but the cumin seeds which made this a very inexpensive but delicious Sunday dinner. Wife thought I put to much ginger in which I was a bit under the 1/4 cup and will probably put less next time. I think I would also grate it rather than chop the ginger.

YUM!!! I just made this and it is incredible. Such a lite blend of flavors. I couldn’t believe how fast it came together, AND that I had all the spices! Indian food is my favorite, but always seems so intimidating. Thank you!

@159 – this is not a traditional Indian rajma recipe. To get that flavor you must first cook dry kidney beans with black cardamom, stick cinnamon, and turmeric. Use ghee or butter or peanut oil or vegetable oil, and add cumin seeds to that first before adding ginger/garlic/pepper. Leave out the tomato sauce – it isn’t a tomato-based soup – just some fresh tomato is needed. Then you need to add fenugreek and garam masala in addition to the other spices mentioned here. Also some cilantro during the cooking and not just for garnish.

This saved my butt tonight! We actually had all of these ingredients lying around, and it was *so* quick to put together. Oh, and it tasted amazing too. Thankyouthankyouthankyou for this.

I made this delicious bean curry this evening for dinner and it was anything but pasty. It was amazing! I served it with red quinoa.

This was awesome. Just made it for new year’s eve dinner with rancho gordo’s christmas lima beans. The 8 year old loved it, even with half a big jalapeno. Alton Brown’s oven-baked brown rice was perfect with it. Thanks!

Wow, this was delicious! Thanks so much for posting the recipe. I love how fast it comes together. I used dried beans that I prepared beforehand, and my only issue was possibly that I salted the beans AND added the 1 tsp of salt in the recipe. It may have been a tad too salty. But still wonderful! This is definitely going into my permanent recipe book.
