Next morning, drain the soaked water. Add fresh water & pressure cook them upto 4 whistles.

Open the pressure cooker once the air is released. Drain the boiled rajma water & do not discard the water but keep it aside for later use.

Combien roughly chopped tomatoes and 1 cup water & cook them in a deep pan, for 8 - 10 minutes or till tomatoes become soft.

Cool the tomatoes. Blend them in a mixer to a smooth pulp. Keep aside.

9

Heat water in a pan & add bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon stick & salt. Add the soaked & drained rice in the boiling water. Stir. Add a few drops of lemon juice in the boiling rice (for whiteness)

Once the rice is cooked, drain the water & keep the rice covered till serving time.

Tips

1. On soaking , Rajma will double in quantity.
2.Tomato pulp is chunky whereas puree is with a smooth texture as it is strained.This recipe calls for chunky texture.
3. Steamed rice is a plant based grain which ideally goes with Rajma Curry as both are plant based.
