This wonderful recipe is a delight both with rice and roti. Even hubby dear is fan of this dish. Made this today on popular demand :) . Here is the recipe
INGREDIENTS :-
Rajma /Kidney Beans :- 1 cups (soaked over night)
Tomatoes :- pulpy ones (5 large)
Onions :- slit lengthwise (1 large)
Ginger-Garlic paste :- 2 spoons ( I prefer fresh one ground at home, ginger 50 m, garlic 50 gm ground together)
Green Chillies : 3-4 (slit length wise)
Coriander powder :- 1 teaspoons
Jeera powder :- 1 teaspoon
Garam masala :- 2 teaspoons
Kashmiri mirch powder ;- 1 teaspoon
Bread slices :- whole wheat bread( 2 slices)
Oil :- as required (1 tablespoon)
Salt :- a s required
Turmeric :- a pinch
Coriander leaves ( for dressing)
METHOD :-
- Take tomatoes and boil them in water (do not chop ) Boil them so as to make puree. Alternatively you can tomato puree. I microwaved them at 80% for 7 minutes. Somehow microwave enhances sour taste of tomatoes. After they are boiled puree them in a grinder.
- Take pressure pan add oil and heat it. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry it for 2 minutes.
- Add chopped onions and fry until onions are golden brown.
- Now add pureed tomatoes and soaked kidney beans.
- If you are not cooking in pressure pan boil kidney beans in cooker before hand for 7-8 whistles and add it.
- Add coriander powder , jeera powder, garam masala, turmeric, kashmiri mirchi, salt,bread slices.
- Basically bread slices thicken the gravy and gives kind of sweet taste to rajma. This is better alternative then using cream or malai. Add water if necessary
- Close the lid of pressure cooker and pressure cook it for 7-8 whistles.
- If you added already boiled rajma then close the lid of pan and simmer for 15 minutes or so.
- After the whistles remove the lid and mix the gravy well. Adjust anything if necessary.
- Dress it with coriander leaves and onions.
