Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green chili, chopped (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon garam masala

¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the garlic and green chili, cooking for an additional minute.

    Add Spices: Stir in the cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook the spices for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Incorporate Beans and Tomatoes: Add the drained kidney beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If it looks too dry, you can add a splash of water.

        Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt (about 2-3 minutes).

          Toast the Bread: While the cheese is melting, toast the bread slices either in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crispy.

            Assemble the Dish: Once the cheese has melted into the beans, remove from heat. Place the toasted bread on plates and generously spoon the cheesy masala beans over them.

              Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
