Using Aazol's Ghati Masala

Rajma Masala

◷ Prep & cook time: 9hrs | Servings: 4

This Rajma Masala uses Aazol's Ghati Masala: Spicy All-purpose Masala to add extra depth and heat to soft kidney beans in a thick onion-tomato gravy. Slow simmering helps the rajma absorb the masala for a comforting everyday main course.


Rajma Masala

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dried rajma (kidney beans), soaked overnight
  • 3 cups water, for pressure cooking
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped or pureed
  • 2 teaspoons Aazol's Ghati Masala: Spicy All-purpose Masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kasuri methi, crushed
  • 1 cup reserved rajma cooking liquid, or as required
  • Salt, only if required
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
  • Instructions:

    1. Rinse the soaked rajma and drain. Add to a pressure cooker with 3 cups fresh water and cook until the beans are completely soft and can be easily pressed between your fingers.

    2. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking liquid, then keep the cooked rajma aside.

    3. Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

    4. Add the onion and cook on medium heat until soft and golden. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for about 1 minute.

    5. Add the tomatoes and cook until thick and the oil begins to separate.

    6. Lower the heat and add turmeric, coriander powder and Aazol's Ghati Masala: Spicy All-purpose Masala. Cook for about 30 seconds.

    7. Add the cooked rajma and reserved cooking liquid. Taste before adding any extra salt.

    8. Mash a few rajma beans against the side of the pan to naturally thicken the gravy, then simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes.

    9. Stir in kasuri methi and coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
