Rajma Sundal Recipe with step by step pics and a short YouTube video is usually prepared on all festive occasions like Navratri, Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi. I mostly prepare these sundal recipes as an evening snack for my kids and I feel it’s far better than the junk foods. As my kids’ exams are going on, I am tied up with a hectic schedule and not able to post a big recipe. When I was searching in my kitchen pantry, I saw some half packet of rajma bean leftover, after making rajma masala. So thought of finishing the packet and as all the festivals are nearing, it becomes a blog post too…..

Recipe Notes

Tips For Sundal Recipes

1. Soak the rajma bean for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, as it helps in easy cooking.

2. The addition of salt, while pressure cooking rajma bean, prevents it from overcooking.

3. Also, adjust red chilli as per spice level required for this rajma sundal recipe.

4. Furthermore, use coconut oil for tempering, which lends a nice aroma to the sundal.

5. For more flavour, add curry leaves and hing generously.

6. For a variation, 1 tsp of jeera and few mint leaves can be used while tempering.

7. If the rajma bean doesn't get cooked, just add 1 pinch of cooking soda, while pressure cooking.
