Ingredients
  

1 can (400g) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green chili, chopped (adjust based on spice preference)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon garam masala

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a melty cheese of choice)

4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or whole grain)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped green chili; cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Spice It Up: Add the ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the spices lightly.

      Beans and Tomatoes: Incorporate the rinsed kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine everything.

        Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally until the beans are heated through and slightly thickened.

          Cheesy Goodness: Once the mixture has thickened, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and gently stir until melted and gooey.

            Toast the Bread: While the beans are simmering, toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.

              Assemble: Place the toasted bread on individual plates and generously spoon the cheesy masala beans over the top.

                Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and a pop of color.

                  Serve: Enjoy your cheesy masala beans on toast warm, as a comforting breakfast, lunch, or snack!
