What's Cooking... Contd

I had never eaten Rajma around 7 months back. However after staying in Pune for 6 months and trying out various vegetarian cuisines, this was one dish i enjoyed a lot. I prefer having it as a substitute for non-vegetarian food. So today i did try my hand at cooking the same.

The following is the recipe for Rajma Masala:

Ingredients:

Rajma = 1 Cup
Onion = 2
Tomato = 2
Ginger-Garlic paste = 1tsp
Cumin seeds = 1/2tsp
Green Chilly= 2
Turmeric powder = 1/2tsp
Coriander powder = 1/2tsp
Red chilli powder = 1/2tsp
Garam masala = 1/2tsp
Oil = 2tbsp

Salt

Procedure:

Wash the beans properly and soak it in water overnight.
Rinse and Drain the beans before cooking the following day.
Boil the beans in a pressure cooker till it gets soft enough.
Heat oil in a vessel.
Add cumin seeds and ginger-garlic paste and cook it till it turns brown.
Add finely sliced onion, chopped tomato, green chilly, red chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the boiled beans along with its water and simmer for about 10–15 minutes.
Finally add the Garam masala powder and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Ready to serve with cooked rice or rotis.

So do try your hand at cooking this once.
