Rajma


Ingredients:

Red beans : 1 cups
Onion : 1 medium size
Tomato : 1 big size:
Ginger & garlic paste : 1spn
Salt : 1 spn
Fresh coconut: 1/4 cup
Red chilli : 1 spoon
Dhania powder : 1/2 spoon
Turmeric : 1/4 tsp
Cilantro : 1.4 cup finely cup
Oil : 3 spoon


Method:

Soak the red beans over night.
Pressure cook red beans with little salt for 2 whistles.
Mean while cook onion and tomato in water.
Let the onion and tomato cool. Remove tomato skin.
Grind onion, tomato, ginger-garlic paste, coconut, salt, dhania, chilli and turmeric by adding little water.
heat oil in a pan.
Add masala paste and let it cook for 5 min or until raw smell goes.
Add red beans to the masala.
Add 1-2 cups of water to make the gravy.
Let it boil and switch off the stove.
Garnish with cilantro

Note: if you look at recipe picture above, you will see more gravy than rajma. thats because I let the stove on for 3 whistles and 90% of rajma became mushy. :-((. So, I took all thge mushy rajma and added to the masala while blending. but the taste is really good.. You can follow this step as well to make rajma.

Tip:
Substitute roasted coconut powder instead of fresh coconut.
