Notes

Tips for Rajma curry recipe

  1. In the first place, soak rajma beans for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, therefore it gets easily cooked.
  2. In addition to that ensure rajma beans are properly cooked and it is soft.
  3. Red rajma beans get cooked faster, but I used regular ones only.
  4. For a restaurant-style rajma curry recipe, use butter for tempering.
  5. Instead of grinding onion and tomato, it can be finely chopped and used too.
  6. For a quick version, finely chopped onion and tomato puree can be used, other steps are the same.
  7. Even little mashed rajma beans can be added at last, to get more volume and thickness in the gravy.
  8. Furthermore, for more flavour, Kasuri methi leaves can be used. But I used coriander leaves only.
  9. Even ready-made canned/tinned rajma beans can be used hence It simplifies the process.
  10. For a rich taste, 2 tbsp of fresh cream can be added at the end.
