Notes

Dry Red Kidney Beans
Dry red kidney beans can also be used instead of Canned red kidney beans. In that case 8 ounce of Dry Red Kidney Beans need to be soaked in water for 4-6 hours and then boiled in water till they are soft.
 
How to Tell When Oil is Hot
When a small piece of food (a bit of ginger OR garlic OR onion) sizzles immediately when added to the pan.
 
Start Cooking only after all the Preparation steps are completed
In Indian Cooking each step move fast so every ingredient should be in ready-to-cook state and should be close to the cooking station before starting cooking.
