It’s important to soak the kidney beans overnight – so you need to plan ahead and start the recipe the day before you want to serve it.
Garlic paste is mashed up garlic, and ginger paste is grated fresh ginger. Make it yourself in large batches – it’s better than the shop-bought stuff. Mix with a little oil and salt and freeze in ice cube trays for 2 months. Once thawed it will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.
