method
1. Finely chop the garlic and onion. Seed and finely chop the fresh green chillies.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the garlic, onion, green chillies and chilli powder. Cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are softened.
3. Drain the can of kidney beans, reserving the liquor. Blend all but 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the beans to a puree in a food processor or blender.
