Recipe Notes

Notes

You can add tomato puree, if you want.It will give a nice colour to the gravy.

Don’t keep the gravy thin, after adding cooked rajma to the gravy keep the stove low on heat so as to get the flavours infused into the rajma.

Rajma has many varieties so if yours dosen’t cook soft in 3 whistles let it go for another 2 or more.
