BAKED RAJMA (PUNJABI-STYLE RED BEANS WITH CREAM)
Punjabi-style rajma, or red beans, in a thick, spicy tomato gravy is comforting, quick and comes together with what you have in the pantry. This one-pan baked version is inspired by it, but deviates from tradition in several ways. First, it lets the oven do the work of reducing the sauce. When the dish comes out, scatter with cilantro, if you've got it, and some quick-pickled onion. The key is to take your time with the base, letting the onion mixture cook out properly, so the final sauce is mellow and deeply flavored. But you can try the same technique with different beans, from chickpeas to cannellini. Eating the dish with a side of yogurt or a glug of cream is common, but it's also a treat with a little melted cheese, the edges browned in the pan. Use what you've got. Serve the rajma over rice, ideally, but if you're in a pinch, a side of hot flour tortillas or even buttered toast will make it into a delicious meal.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Quarter the onion, then thinly slice one portion. Set aside sliced onion. Add the remaining onion to a food processor, along with the garlic, chile and ginger. Purée until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a large, deep ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the cumin seeds and cook until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Add the onion mixture and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the excess liquid has evaporated and the mixture is just starting to take on a golden color, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the mixture cooks, purée the canned tomatoes and their juices, if using diced, chopped or whole tomatoes.
- Add the beans and chile powder to the onion mixture, and mix well. Use a fork to mash a tablespoon or so of the beans against the side of the skillet to help thicken the sauce.
- Add the crushed or puréed tomatoes and garam masala to the beans, and mix well. Drizzle the top with cream or scatter with cheese, then slide into the oven and bake, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened and the top is lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Prepare the pickle: While the beans are baking, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Transfer 1/4 cup hot water to a small bowl. Stir in the sugar and salt until dissolved. Add the reserved onion slices to the boiling water in the saucepan, turn off the heat and, after 1 minute, drain the onion. Transfer the softened onion to the small bowl and stir in the vinegar.
- When the beans are ready, fish out the pickled onion slices and arrange on top, letting a few drops of the pickling liquid flick over the beans to season them. Garnish with cilantro and serve with hot rice, buttered toast or flour tortillas.

- Place beans in a medium bowl or saucepan; add cold water as needed to cover 2 inches above beans. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Drain.
- Bring drained beans, 8 cups water, and 1 teaspoon of the turmeric to a boil in a large saucepan over high. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender but still hold their shape, 1 hour, 15 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes, stirring 2 teaspoons of the salt into bean mixture during final 30 minutes of cook time.
- While beans cook, heat 3 tablespoons of the ghee in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium until very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and (if using) black cardamom pod; stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion just begins to turn golden brown in spots, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add ginger, serrano chile, and remaining 1 tablespoon ghee. Cook, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits, until onion is caramelized and crisped in spots, 10 to 14 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water to onion mixture, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits. Cook over low, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates and onion starts to sizzle in remaining pan drippings, 5 to 15 minutes. Repeat process using additional 1/2 cup water.
