{"title":"Tinned Beans","description":"\u003cp\u003eRajma chawal is Sunday lunch across North India, and red kidney beans are the heart of it: slow-cooked in onion, tomato and ginger until the gravy turns thick and glossy. Black-eyed beans, called lobia or chawli, make a lighter curry and a good salad. Gungo peas, the Jamaican name for pigeon peas, are the peas in rice and peas, and they are the same pulse that Indian cooks know as toor when split and dried. Butter beans, rosecoco and black beans round out the shelf for stews, chilli, Mexican refried beans and salads, with a large catering tin of Spanish bayo beans for bigger kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTinned beans are already soft, so add them to a finished masala and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes.
