Namaste,
today we'll make rajma masala.
Make ordinary rajma
extra ordinary by adding maggi masala-e-magic.
Let's start!
Take 1 cup of rajma,
200 grams in weight.
Wash it nicely
and soaked it in water for 5-6 hours.
These are soaked rajma.
They are soaked perfectly,
if you cut it like this
they are very soft,
rajma should be like this.
They become more tasty when they get soft after soaking.
Moving on to the gas,
put them in to cook.
2 cups of water,
while boiling it do not put more water in the cooker.
1 teaspoon of salt,
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
While boiling rajma do add baking soda,
they boil quickly.
And they also taste great.
Cook it till one whistle,
the cooker has whistled.
Reduce the flame to low,
boil the rajma for 7 minutes at low flame.
It has been cooking since 7 minutes.
Turn off the flame
put cooker aside
and cool it down.
Let's prepare the masala,
put 2-3 oil in the pan,
heat it.
Put cumin seeds in hot oil,
reduce the flame to low so the spices do not burn.
1 pinch of asafoetida,
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder,
2 teaspoons coriander powder,
add a little more coriander powder,
it makes the gravy thick
and it taste good.
1 tablespoon of fenugreek,
it tastes great.
Crush it and put it in the oil itself, it will be roasted
and will give a very good taste.
Roast them a little,
take 3 tomatoes,
1 inch ginger
and 3 green chilli,
these are small chilies, if you can take big chilies, take 2 of them.
Make a paste of it and put it in the pan.
1.5 teaspoon of kashmiri red chilli,
do not put it directly in the oil,
it burns quickly.
At medium flame roast the masala,
till it becomes thick
and oil separates from it.
You can roast the masala by covering it like this
and stir it in every 2-3 minutes.
It is very important to stir it,
so it roasts evenly
and do not stick at the bottom.
Oil is separating from the masala
and it has thickened too.
Put 1/2 teaspoon of salt,
salt is already mixed in rajma,
this is for the masala
or take as per taste.
Oil is floating on the masala,
masala has also thickened.
A good aroma is also coming,
masala is roasted.
It is very important to roast it this much.
When it cooks perfectly it tastes great.
Now let's check rajma,
the cooker has opened.
Looks like they are boiled well,
press one like this
and look how perfectly they have boiled.
Put rajma in the pan with water
as there is not much water in it.
We want this much.
Cover and cook it for 3-4 minutes at medium flame.
So all the spices mixes with rajma.
Cooked them for 3 minutes,
rajma has almost cooked.
Now put 1 sachet of maggi masala-e-magic.
In maggi masala-e-magic, there are some special spices like nutmeg,
cardamom,
cloves,
cumin seeds and black pepper.
Maggi has made a special masala by roasting it on low flame.
Mix them well.
Some coriander leaves.
Rajma is ready,
cover and keep them for 2 minutes.
See how good rajma is made.
As they cool down
they will get thicker.
Garnish it with coriander leaves.
Rajma masala is ready.
It is very tasty,
you can serve it with chapati, naan or rice.
You will love it.
This much rajma is sufficient for 3-4 members of a family.
You won't face any problem in making them.
But to make rajma
soak the rajma in water for 6-7 hours.
And roast the masala nicely.
A very good rajma masala will be ready.
