Some prefer to mix it and then serve.

Making the Rajma:


-      Have the rajma soaked overnight to soften it.


-      Take a little oil (1 to 2 tbsp) in a pan.


-      Add the cumin seeds and cinamon and heat till they crackle.


-      Add onions and continue heating for a few minutes till the onions get light pink.


-      Add the green chillies and ginger and continue to saute the lot for two or three minutes


-      Take the soaked rajma with three cups of water, turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt.


-      Pressure cook them till four to five whistles.


-      Let the pressure release and then add to the cooked rajma, black salt and amchur and mix well.


-      Simmer this mixture and then add the rajma and further let it simmer cook till an aroma fills the place.


-      Remove from stove. Eat piping hot or slightly cooled Rajma with already cooked rice and have your fill.

Some like to mix even the rice, simmer a little and then eat the hot mix of Rajma Chawal.


Whatever mode you prefer, end result is a very delicious satisfying fill.
