Rajma-Masala.

0

Rajma-chawal is one meal, that my hubby can't stop eating anytime, anyday. He just loves. Initially i used to make it every sunday. My mom gave me one secret recipe for rajma, which actually add alltogether different taste in it. Here, I m sharing same recipe with u all.
I am sure all who are reading this receipe will surely try ones and feel the difference.

All u need is. 
2 Cup of chitkabri Rajma (soaked overnite).
3 Onions
5 Tomatoes.
5-6 cloves of garlic.
I tb spoon crated ginger.
3 Green Chillies.
Dry Masala as per taste (red chilli powder, turmeric, salt)
2 Tb spoon Garam Masala
2 Tb Spoon Kashmiri masala (u can get readynade in  jammu or see receipe in slurrps section) 
4 Cloves
5-7 whole black pepper.

Method:
Boil rajma with 3-1/2 cups of water, salt and 1/2 T spoon turmeric powder.
Saute choped onion in pan without oil(u can saute onion on tawa also, it will be easier then in pan). Let it cool down. Blend it in a mixer with tomatoes, chillies, ginger and garlic, make a thick paste. Heat oil in deep pan and add cloves, whole black pepper. Add zira when clove and black pepper splutter.
Add the onion -tomato mixture in oil, add all dry masala, including kashmiri masala. mix well and saute for min 20 min while covering the lid and mixing in intervals.
Meanwhile, drain rajma keep aside the boiled water(don throw).

Later, add rajma in sauteed mixture and mix well. Add boiled water and mix well,  add some dry pudina powder. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot with Rice.
If you want to make it without onion garlic, yes u can make it very tasty, only u need to add few more tomatoes, ginger and some boiled rajma to make thick paste and saute for atleat 30 minutes.
