Instructions

1. First of all, the so-called masala is made by heating the oil in a high pan, frying the chopped onion, adding the garlic-ginger paste and the tomatoes, and adding the whole thing with the spices (turmeric, cardamom and garam masala) for about 5 Simmer for minutes over a high flame while stirring. We now add the beans with the liquid and some salt to the masala. Sprinkle the rajma with chopped fresh coriander just before serving.
2. Indian breads like roti or nachos go best with it.
3. Tip:
4. In India, the dried red kidney beans are used for Rajma. These must be soaked in water for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight, and then boiled in soaking water (separately from the masala). The soaked beans take about 45 minutes to cook.
