Spicy Rajma Gravy

I am a person who is really biased towards tongue than my health. ;) Because I believe in living for the day. But mom and dad say living for tomorrow is my virtue too. Oh yeah right, I have loads to be done in life and I have to live healthy for that.

Isn't that awesome if I can balance between the both and make a tasty as well as healthy dish!

Here comes my Spicy Rajma gravy with is rich in Protein, Folate, Iron, Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber as well as a grand treat to the tongue. :)


Ingredients:

Rajma (Red Kidney beans) - 1 cup
Tomato - 3
Large Onions - 2
Garlic - 10 pods
Ghee - 1 tsp
Chilly powder - 1 tsp(According to taste)
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp
Salt - for taste
Coriander leaves

Method:

Soak rajma in water for 10 hours or over night. Boil for 20 to 25 min in pressure cooker with the same soaked water. Do not throw the water after boiling too, we can use it for the gravy.

Grind onion and garlic into a smooth paste and keep it aside.

Pour 3 tsp of oil and 1 tsp of ghee in a pan and fry the onion garlic paste for a while. Now add turmeric powder, chilly powder, coriander powder and salt to it and fry till the oil separates. Reduce the flame and add finely chopped tomatoes to it and fry till it gets cooked. Add boiled rajma and enough water and cook for ten more min. Finally sprinkle coriander leaves. Spicy rajma curry is ready to eat. :)

You can serve it with plain rice or chapathi. :)
