Method how to make Rajma Chawal

Step 1
In the process of making rice, wash the rice thoroughly in water 2-3 times first and put it in a bowl and keep it aside. Now take a pan and boil by adding water to it. As soon as it comes to a boil, add rice and salt together.
Cook it like this for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to low until the rice turns soft. Turn off the heat and take out the rice from the water and keep it aside. Make it along with Rajma so that you can serve hot rice.

Step 2
Method of making rajma: Put a pan on the flame and soak 3 cups of water in it with soaked rajma and a pinch of salt. Leave it to cook for the next 25 to 30 minutes or until the beans are completely soft. On the other side take a small bowl and mix all the spices, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, black pepper powder and salt in it.

Step 3
Now heat oil in a pan and put onion in it and stir it on medium flame while stirring occasionally, till the onion turns golden brown in color. When it fry then add garlic and green chilies to it and fry it for the next 30 seconds. Now add ginger and tomato in it and stir once again, then put the mixture of spices in it. Now stir it in between and cook for the next 7-8 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked properly. As soon as the oil starts dropping from the edges, now it is ready.

Step 4
Now pour the cooked rajma with butter and mix it well with a cup of water. Now after mixing it well, leave it to cook on low flame for the next 30 minutes. Now turn off the heat. Serve hot with rice on a serving plate. Do not forget to garnish it with coriander leaves
