Hello, Local Guides.

Thanks to @AjitThite Dada for the series.

Today, I am sharing a simple yet flavorful Rajma Recipe—a favorite in Punjabi households. This dish is packed with rich spices .
In Restaurant Rajma is served with Hot Rice orTandoori roti./ Chapati.

My bade Daddy ji used to say if any guest comes to Punjabi house on Sunday either Rajma, Chicken or Dal Makhani will be served.

It was my pleasure of hosting fellow Local Guides like @Kunjan from Vadodara ,@FalguniP @Shrut19 @Docgaurav @Arati from Hyderabad @Alpee & family from Delhi, and Ajit Dada from Pune who enjoyed my handmade dishes.

@Shruti_U from UP @SalmaanN from Bangalore @MayuriKubal from Mumbai had snacks when they visited Mumbai my home. Cooking for friends and sharing meals is always a special experience.

Ingredients:

4 handfuls of white rajma (soaked overnight)

3 medium onions (chopped)

3 tomatoes (chopped)

1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

3 tsp oil

1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

Salt, turmeric (haldi), and red chili powder (to taste)

1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder

1/2 tsp kasuri methi.

1 tsp Punjabi garam masala

1 tsp dry coriander (dhania) powder

Fresh coriander for garnish

Method:

  1. Pressure cook soaked rajma with a little salt for 3 whistles.

2.In a pan, heat oil, add jeera, then onions. Sauté until golden brown.

  1. Add ginger-garlic paste, then tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes. Let it cool and blend into a paste.

  2. Return the paste to the pan, cook on medium heat, and add salt, turmeric, chili powder, jeera powder, kasuri methi, garam masala, and dhania powder. Mix well.

  1. Add only boiled rajma and cook for 5-8 minutes until oil separates.

6.Pour in the rajma water (add extra if needed) and give 1 more whistle. Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.

  1. Check the consistency—it should be mildly thick. Garnish with fresh coriander

Onion Salad:
Slice onions thinly and marinate with salt, a pinch of red chili, and lemon juice for an hour. Optional: Add slit green chilies and fresh coriander.
