How to Make Plain Rajma Masala

• Drain the water from the soaked rajma and boil it in the pressure cooker till it is cooked.
• Grind the chopped onions and tomatoes separately with a little water to a fine paste.
• Heat the oil and add curry leaves and sliced green chillies.
• Add the onion paste and fry on medium heat till the paste turns pinkish in colour.
• Pour the tomato paste and stir. Fry on high heat for 5 to 8 minutes, till the mixture is slightly reduced.
• After this add the boiled rajma along with the water and salt. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat so that the masala blends well with the rajma.
• Once done, sprinkle the garam masala and stir.
• You can garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
• Serve the dish hot with rice or rotis.
