Soak the kidney beans in a large bowl of cool water for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well.

Blend the onion, garlic, and ginger into a smooth paste using a mortar and pestle.

Heat a mix of oil and ghee in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the red chiles, cumin seeds, and whole cloves. Fry until the cumin seeds start to pop. Stir in the onion paste and cook until it turns golden brown. Season with turmeric, cumin, and coriander powder, then add the tomatoes and cook until they soften completely.
