Kidney Bean Stew With Sweet Potatoes and Oranges image

All the spices make this a special dish with delicious flavors! From Bal Arneson - The Spice Goddess on the cooking channel. The stew can be eaten alone or with rice and it tastes perfectly spiced both ways. The fresh roasted coriander and the addition of oranges makes this a surprisingly light stew compared to the heavier texture and feel of traditional Indian Rajma/Chhole dishes.

This recipe is a fail. I followed the instructions exactly, but my stew turned out burnt and mushy.

I'm going to try making this stew in my slow cooker next time. I think it will turn out even better.

I think this stew would be better with a different type of bean, like black beans or pinto beans.

The stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some plain yogurt.

This stew was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used canned kidney beans to save time, and it still turned out great.

I never thought to use oranges in a stew before, but it worked wonderfully. The citrus flavor added a nice brightness to the dish.
