Rajma Masala....

Rajma masala is something that goes well with chappatis as also rice...Rajma Chawal would definitely be the best combinatin & I always feel, its a really nice & easy dish that could be prepared for dinners, potlucks or otherwise.

Ingredients:
1. Rajma-2 cups(soaked in water overnight or at least 8 hrs)
2.Onions-2 large(finely sliced)

9.Coriander powder-1/2 tbs
10.Haldi powder-1/2 tbs
11.Oil-3-4 tbs
12.Coriander leaves for garnish
13.Salt to taste


Method:

1.cook the soaked Rajma with some salt & haldi and enough water,in a pressure cooker for at least 8 whistles or until well cooked...

2.Heat some oil & add the jeera, once it sputters,add the sliced onions,cashew & ginger garlic paste...Saute well & once the onions start changing colour, add the chopped tomatoes...stir well until a little pulpy...Keep aside & once it cools make a thick paste of it..Heat 1 tbs of oil & add the whole red chilly & this paste & stir until the oil starts leaving the sides..Add the spices & mix well.Add the cooked Rajma to it & mix well...Add the reserve water/whey of the cooked Rajma & bring to a boil.Check on the salt & add if required....Once the gravy becomes thick,switch off the flame...Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.....Your Rajma curry is ready....:))))
