Indian Style  Vegan " Chili"

I was tempted to call Kidney bean Curry, but the finish product really resembles a chili.
so Here's my take on a delicious chili..with an East Indian twist..

1 small package dried kidney beans- soaked overnight

1/2 tsp salt

1 tumeric<---Place in a pressure cooker with 1/2 cup water and cook 5 minutes after first whistle.

1 tsp. olive oil

1 tsp. coriander

1/4 tsp. fenugreek

1 tsp. cumin seeds

1/4 tsp. cardamom<--- In a seperate pot. Heat oil and toast spices till fragrant

2 medium onion, small dice

1Tbsp.garlic minced

1Tbsp.Ginger minced<--- Add to oil and cook till onion is cooked.

1 tsp. red chili paste

1/2 tsp. red chili powder

1 Tbsp. sugar<--- Add to onion mixture and combine

2 can tomatoes, crush by hand

1/2 tsp garam masala

3/4 cup lite coconut milk

4 large leaves  Swiss chard- chopped

salt and pepper to taste <--- add this onion...Add beans and bring to a boil and simmer partially covered for 15-20 min.
