rajma

We simply love this rajma curry ,its one of the healthiest and easiest bean curry dish which is quite common in my kitchen and i purposely make little more so that it serves us for both our important meals.

ingridients :
1 cup rajma
1 tbsp green split daal ( optional , i usually add as it gives thickness to the gravy and more healthy & flavour too )
1 large onion finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1-2 green chillies finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp turmeric pwd
1 tsp red chiili pwd
1 tsp garam masala
1 tbsp fresh cream
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
oil
finely chopped corriander leaves
method :
Wash & soak rajma overnight.pressure cook rajma and washed green daal adding ltl salt & turmeric pwd with sufficient water till done ( rajma takes more time to cook so i generally keep on medium flame till half an hr or maybe around 7-8 whistles).Heat oil.add bay leaf,ginger garlic paste,onions and saute for a while, add tomatoes and fry well till pulpy,add all the masalas and fry again for sometime.Add cooked rajma ( the dal will be completely mashed and mixed with rajma after pressure cooking ) and mix well.if the consistency is thick add ltl water as required,add fresh cream,garnish with corriander leaves & serve hot with jeera rice or chapati.
