- Ghee – 1 Tbsp
- Oil – 3 Tbsp

How to Make Rajma Curry:
2. Once the pressure ease, remove the vessel from Pressure Cooker. Discard the water used for cooking and use only the cooked Rajma or Red Kidney Beans. Take around 15-20 cooked Rajma or Red Kidney Beans (when it is quite hot) and blend it in a mixer grinder to a smooth paste; Keep aside.
3. You need a total of 3 Onions to prepare this curry. Finely chop one of these three Onions and keep aside. Cut the other two Onions into pieces and prepare Onion paste by grinding the pieces in a mixer grinder.
4. Chop Tomatoes and grind them in a mixer grinder to smooth paste. Filter the paste to obtain Tomato Puree. Keep aside.
5. Heat Oil in a pan, add Jeera or Cumin Seeds, once the seeds splutter/crackle, add Onion Paste from Step 3 above to the pan and fry until the Onion Paste turns its color to light golden brown and the Oil starts to float on the top of the Onion Paste.
6. Now add Ginger + Garlic Paste to the pan and fry until the smell of the Ginger + Garlic paste disappears. Now add chopped Green Chillies and fry for 2-3 minutes.
7. Then to the pan, add Tomato Puree (prepared as part of Step 4), dry powders like Turmeric Powder, Garam Masala or Rajma Curry Masala (I have used Garam Masala), Chilli Powder, Sugar, Salt and Rajma Paste from Step 2 above and a cup of fresh water, cooked Rajma or Red Kidney Beans and cook for 10-15 minutes in the pan. Cook until the gravy turns a little thick. The Rajma gravy is now ready. The Rajma Curry Masala is available in all major departmental stores but Garam is fine too.
8. Heat Ghee in a small frying pan, add finely chopped Onions from Step 3 and fry until the Onions turn golden brown in color. Now add this to the Rajma gravy prepared in the previous step. Mix well with a spatula so that the Ghee mixes well with all the other ingredients.
9. Finally sprinkle some finely chopped Coriander/Cilantro and garnish with Fresh Cream or Cream on top of the Boiled Milk.
