🍲 How to Cook Buddha Ratana Himalayan White Small Kidney Beans
Ingredients:
-
1 cup Buddha Ratana Himalayan White Small Kidney Beans
-
3–4 cups water for cooking
-
Salt, to taste
-
¼ tsp turmeric, optional
Method:
-
Sort & Wash the Beans
Check the beans and remove any stones or unwanted particles. Rinse thoroughly 2–3 times with clean water. -
Soak Thoroughly
Soak the beans in plenty of water for 8–12 hours or overnight. Make sure there is enough water because the beans will expand considerably. -
Drain & Rinse
Drain the soaking water and rinse the beans once again with fresh water. -
Pressure Cook
Add the soaked beans to a pressure cooker with 3–4 cups fresh water. Add turmeric if desired. -
Cook Until Tender
Pressure cook on medium heat for approximately 5–7 whistles, then allow the pressure to release naturally. Cooking time can vary depending on the age and firmness of the beans and the pressure cooker used. -
Check for Doneness
The beans should be completely tender and easily mashable when pressed between your fingers. If they are still firm, add a little hot water and pressure cook for another 1–2 whistles. -
Season & Prepare
Once tender, use the cooked beans in your preferred curry, soup, stew, salad, or rice preparation. -
Serve Hot
Pair with steamed rice, roti, chapati, or your favourite grain.
💡 Cooking Tip
Do not skip the soaking and thorough cooking steps. Proper soaking helps the beans hydrate evenly, while complete cooking is important for kidney beans.
For a rich curry, cook the beans until tender first, then simmer them with your masala so they can absorb the flavours beautifully.
