Afghan Lubya- Vegetarian Kidney Bean Recipe

- Afghan lubya is a delicious vegetarian kidney bean recipe. It can easily be made vegan with a non-dairy yogurt substitute. Full recipe below.
Here is the Afghan nachos recipe I shared w/ you in the video: • Nachos Recipe - Afghan...
Ingredients:
3 Cups Dried Kidney Beans
3 Tablespoons Oil
1 Finely Chopped Onion
5 Cloves Finely Minced Garlic
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 Tablespoon Coriander
1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 Can Whole Tomatoes
1-2 Cartons of Vegetable Broth
4 Tablespoons Dried Mint
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Cornstarch for thickening gravy
Recipe:
1. Soak your beans. Preferably overnight. But it is just as acceptable to soak them with your chai or coffee first in the morning.
2. Pull out your instant pot or saute pan-heat oil, sautee onions, and then garlic. Next, add your cumin and coriander.
3. Next, you want to add some color to your tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste for a few minutes. This will help you eliminate the “canned” taste and develop the tomato flavor.
4. Next, add the can of tomatoes. If you have some leftover baby grape tomatoes, you can add those too but not necessary. (I did it in the UA-cam video because I had some extra).
5. Next, add your vegetable broth. This will depend on how thirsty your beans are. I start with 1 Cup.
6. Let the ingredients cook down a bit. Then add your dried mint, salt, and black pepper. Finally, add your soaked beans. On top of that, add more vegetable broth until all your ingredients are fully covered in the instant pot. You never want to be low on the liquid in an instant pot or pressure cooker because you will risk burning the food on the bottom.
7. Put your instant pot lid on and cook for 15 minutes on the “bean” selection. I highly encourage a pressure cooker if you don’t have an instant pot. Any other method will make this a weekend recipe, not a weeknight recipe.
8. When you take your lid off, you can likely notice your liquid is not as thick as you would like. This is because you want a nice “gravy” so that it coats the rice you serve it with. I always make a quick cornstarch slurry to thicken my lubya gravy.
9. To make a slurry, start with a 1-to-2 ratio of cornstarch to water. For example, prepare one tablespoon of cornstarch and two tablespoons of water. Add this to your lubya while it’s still hot and stir. You will have a lovely thick gravy now!
10. Finally, serve with some rice and top with some Afghan yogurt sauce.

Dal makhani, plaf, borshch (vegetarian)... looking forward to discovering your wonderful Afghan recipes.
I am happy that I found your blog and youtube channel, I served in Afghanistan and while there ate these beans with one of my afghan co-workers, I serched and could never find a recipe on how to make them, I also see you have my other favorite "Afghan Pickles" keep up the cooking It would be nice if Afghan food got more popular in the US.
Thank you Modarjon. Been searching “cook Beans” and the lamest recipes showed up until searched “Afghan Lubya “ much love ❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy. Lubya is delicious!
I was watching another UA-camr and he said, “add a restaurant quantity of butter.” as he throws a whole stick of butter into the pan. You could borrow that, “Add an Afghan quantity of oil.”
😆
That kandahari pashto is heavenly.
God bless sister
Fantastic recipe! Very convenient in the instant pot and definitely a keeper. This will be part of my cooking rotations. I made it vegan by using coconut yogurt for the yogurt sauce. Excellent with rice or barberi bread.
im living in pakistan right now and my wife and I are making this right now! im sure she willl love it
This is awesome! If either of you are on Instagram take a picture and tag me “afghancooks” 😃
You had me at kidney beans! Love your personality too!
Aw thank you ☺️
The algorithm served me your channel, and now I am already an addict! You are so cool, and the recipe looks delicious. Haven't tried yet, but I will
Awesome. Hit that bell notification :)
I know in Georgia they have a very similar dish called Lobio, I bet there’s some relation. Thanks for the video.
I did look up that recipe. I see the similarities. We have much more in common than we all think!
I love this my friend is half Afghan and half Pakistani and his mother makes this
Awesome! How did you find our UA-cam channel?🙂
@@AfghanCooks I searched a recipe can't remember which one and your channel poped up. I like your recipes because you don't try to be healthy and keep it as traditional as possible.
Ah I love your style, I was looking at my tin of kidney beans after work and you made my day AND inspired me to make lubya! Shukran 🤍
yay! so glad. make sure you subscribe :)
Perfect timing for cold weather! I make a veggie chili when it starts getting cold and it's similar to this but will definitely try making this next. Thanks for sharing this!
You better take a picture when you make it and share with me!
@@AfghanCooks hi, could you please show us how to make chilli 💖💖
@@AfghanCooks Deal!
I am waiting for the beans to soak but this will be deelicious I’m sure subbed 😊
Made this today! Its good
Fun personality and great recipe! I subbed!
Great job ma'am! Looks so delicious.
Thank you 😊
This is incredibly close to Egyptian dishes. We don't usually eat red beans, but we do this with green beans, peas, black-eyed beans (our lubya), okra, ... etc. Essentially everything else. We usually do these dishes with red meat, if we don't use red meat, then it's a vegan dish.
Hi dear hope so you are doing well, and what is that dish called?
Instead of cornstarch , arrowroot starch /flour or tapioca starch is a healthier alternative . Another was of thicken - is taking a spoonful or a couple spoonfuls of the stew and blending and then adding back into pot. Works great with beans, lentils and even veggies like when I make a green beans sabzi and I feel it's too dry or tooo watery, I'll blend some and add the pureé right back in 🙏🏽
I always smash a few of the beans to thicken because I portion and freeze. Thickening agents can freeze inconsistently so I don't use them..
Amazing food 🥰🥰
looks good!
It was!
I need to get instabt pot since many of your dishes use it😊
You can cook this in a regular pressure cooker on your stove or even cook it longer in a regular pot.

Your camera is a little out of focus. Other than that, thanks for the recipe!
India calls it Rajma Chawal... haaye!
Its basically a rajma dal recipe
I like you 😅😊
Too much tomatoes
If she is paying the camera guy or person they really need to do a better job. Poor lady is out of focus
I may have been ugly that day so he was doing me a favor.
