I have learnt this recipe from my mother on phone. I learnt it a hard way.It did not come perfect in one go.Sometime rajmas were kachcha or another time they were not so good textured. That mother's hand magic was missing ,may be she was using desi ghee. She told me that don't throw the water in which you soak rajmas.Second tip she gave that mash some of the rajma beans( 2 tbsp) in mixer so that thick texture of dish will emerge in the gravy.Third tip was that simmer rajmas for sometime on slow flame. Use tomato puree instead of chopped tomatoes.
Thanks Mother ....
