How to Make Bombay Beans And Chicken

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 medium onion (chopped) to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed) and 1 (14.5-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained).
  4. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Keep the bean mixture warm.
  8. In a separate bowl, brush 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total) with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  9. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Alternatively, broil in the oven, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
  11. Slice the cooked chicken breasts.
  12. Serve the chicken over 2 cups cooked rice, topped with the kidney bean and tomato mixture.
  13. Dollop 2 tablespoons of sour cream on each serving.
  14. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
