Step 2:-
After 1 hour of rajma soaking in hot water, your rajma will get double of its size by soaking water in them.
Now, it’s time for boing rajma.
So here we have taken 1 cup of 500 grams rajma (kidney beans)

After adding secret rajma masala powder in the pan, while you cook, watch, don’t overcook and don’t dry cook the gravy,
It will taste little bitter, that’s why, we have used 4 table spoon of oil and 1 butter cube for 500 grams of rajma recipe.

Tip number 1:-
Look, rajma recipe is one of the best dish in the world, and best dishes need correct measurement, quantity and perfect timing for cooking all the ingredients, gravy, or recipe.

Then chop all the vegetable, take the correct quantity of all the ingredients.
All this, doing this before you start cooking rajma recipe,
It help you in reducing stress during cooking.
This is very helpful tip, seems simple, but when you cook, then you get tough to cook.
Tip number 2:-

But using anardana will give more good taste in your rajma recipe.
Tip Number 3:-
You can add 2 table spoon of thick heavy cream in your rajma gravy.

Tip Number 4:-
If you don’t like spicy food, then don’t use whole spices, like
When you boil rajma in a pressure cooker, and I have cooked 500 grams of rajma and brown onion jeera rice recipe for my 6 members family.
If you want to cook less quantity, then you less amount of ingredients quantity like spices.
But if you take 1 cup (500 grams) of rajma (kidney beans), then you have to tale 4 cups of water for boiling rajma in the pressure cooker.
For rice, if you take 1 cup (500 grams) of basmati rice, then take 2 cups of water, when you steam rice.
Here measurement is key, if you lose, you lose the restaurant style rajma recipe.
Tip Number 5:-
Use enough amount of oil in the rajma recipe.
Use only onion paste and tomato paste, don’t chop and use it in the rajma recipe, or else you won’t get smooth gravy in you rajma recipe.
Want less spicy, then use red chilli powder according to how much spicy you want.
In the last step of cooking instructions, I gave you guys tadka in the rajma,
This is very important, so don’t skip this tadka step, because when you use garlic before only in the gravy,
Then it won’t give much good taste it,
So giving tadka at the end in rajma, is very good step to follow.
