Auntyji, when you made chole, I remember that you added besan. Is it not necessary to add Besan here in rajma recipe?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@subramak

rajma don,t need besan.

Miss Manjula, How should I make this recipie without using the pressure cooker because I can not afford one. I rememeber having this dish at a friend's house from overseas and I have a serious craving for this dish! Please help! <3

@misalisa212

You can cook this without pressure cooker it will take about one hour to cook.

hello aunty, can i use cumin powder instead of the seeds??

[Manjulaskitchen]

@varsh1309

Yes you can use cumin powder but I prefer cumin seeds.

[Manjulaskitchen]

canned kidney beans will work great but I will suggest to wash them good.

[Manjulaskitchen]

time you will be saving in boiling.

@misalisa212 Just use 2 cans of kidney beans and add less water. The only reason for the pressure cooker was to make the beans soft. Kidney beans out of a can are already cooked through and soft.

@Information76 I prefer rajma without onion and garlic, though it

s OK both ways

Thanks for the recipe Manjula aunty. I made this dish as per your method and it came out very good. Maybe i added more chillies than needed because it became a little spicy. So I added a couple of spoons of tomato ketchup + some lime juice and that bought down the spice level and gave a good taste too.
