Turn off the heat and let the curry stand for about 15 - 20 mins before serving with steaming hot rice. Add the coriander leaves, sugar (adjust the seasoning and the masalas as per your taste, if needed) and simmer for about 10 mins on very low flame. (The word chawal means rice in Hindi.) When I make this filling recipe I stay true to the Punjabi style and don’t bother with any other side dishes. In Punjabi homes, they often make rajma chawal, where the flavorful rajma curry is served with steamed rice. Then turn the flame down and simmer till it reaches your desired consistency. Rajma masala is usually a weekend affair that is perfect for a Sunday lunch at home. Add the reserved water and another 1/2 cup of plain water and bring to a fierce boil on high flame. Strain and add the cooked rajma (reserve the water) and stir for about 5 minutes. Next, mix all the dry masalas with the yogurt and add it to the tomato puree stir till the masala turns bright red and oil separates. Cook till the puree turns completely dry and oil separates. Heat oil in a wok and add the tomato puree. Also, mash a tbsp of the cooked rajma, this will make the gravy thick.
Once cooked, discard the whole garam masala. It normally takes me about 6 whistles on low fire. Pressure cook the rajma alongwith the grated onions, ginger garlic paste, some salt and the whole garam masala till soft and properly cooked. Whole garam masala: Cinnamon - 1"stick Star anise, Black cardamom - 1 each Cloves - 6 ĭry masalas: Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp, Rajma Masala - 1 1/2 tsp, Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp, Here's how we love our rajma.hope you like it too! When it comes to comfort food, this is what we really crave.
Though rajma has rarely been made in our respective homes, both Terradaze and I absolutely love rajma chawal. Imagine our delight, therefore, when we returned to the hotel and realised that a delicious lunch of piping hot rajma chawal was waiting for us! Tired as we were, we resigned ourselves to walking to town to have some lunch. One day, we went off for a small trek in the mountains very early in the morning and it was only as we were coming down that it dawned upon us that we hadn't informed the hotel what we would have for lunch. It is not a place where we wanted to just put our feet up, look at the scenery and relax - the lure of the mountains was such. As a result, we were told that instead of the regular a la carte menu, meals would need to be ordered a few hours in advance. We stayed in a lovely hotel the tourist season had yet to begin and we were one of just two couples in the hotel. The lush tea gardens, tall pine trees and the majestic Dhauladhar mountains make a picture perfect setting. Palampur is a small hilly town located in Himachal Pradesh, India.
