RAJMA (RED KIDNEY BEANS)

Rajma is one of my all time favourite dish. It is simple and goes well with plain rice, jeera rice or chapathi equally.

Ingredients:

2 cups Rajma (Red kidney beans)
a pinch of turmeric powder
2 medium or 1 large onions chopped
6 Garlic cloves chopped
1 inch Ginger chopped
2 Green chillies slit
3 Tomatoes chopped finely
¾ tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Red chilly powder
½ tsp Garam masala
½ tsp amchur (dry mango pwd)
2 tblsp Oil Salt To taste
Coriander leaves for garnish


Recipe:

Soak rajma overnight. Wash and pressure cook the rajma. Or take two canned tins of red kidney beans and keep them ready.

Heat oil in a kadhai and add ginger, garlic and chillies. Fry until they leave the raw smell.
Add onions sauté till onions are golden brown, add all the masala powders and stir for few minutes and add tomatoes. Cook until masala separates from oil.

Add the rajma and salt, mix well..

Simmer the flame and cook until thick gravy is formed. You can also take some rajma in a bowl mash them nicely and add to make the gravy thick and more tasty.

Garnish with coriander leaves and you are ready to serve.
