Prepare the chapati dough by mixing flour and water until smooth.

Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the red kidney beans in boiling water until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent.

Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add cooked kidney beans to the mixture, along with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, adding water if necessary to maintain a stew-like consistency.

Meanwhile, divide the rested dough into balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each chapati for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve the chapati warm with the bean mixture on the side or wrapped together.
