Rajma Sundal Recipe / Red Kidney Bean Sundal

     It has been a longtime since I lastly posted here. Was a little occupied with the friends visiting home for Golu, me going to the places of fellow friends and neighbours for golu & sahasranama chanting, cleaning the house in the noons and making sundal in the evening :P 
How can I abandon my blog without even a single sundal recipe during Navarathri.... So here comes Rajma sundal to begin the trail of sundals.

Prep Time: 8 hrs soaking time || Cook Time: 20 mins for Rajma + 5 mins || Serves: 2 || Category: Sundal/Steamed snack

Ingredients:
1. Rajma (Red kidney beans) - 2 handful
2. Coconut oil - 2 tbsp
3. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
4. Urad dal - 2 tsp
5. Hing - 2 tsp
6. Green chillies - 2 small 
7. Ginger - 2 tsp (finely chopped)
8. Curry leaves - a sprig
9. Salt - as required

Method:
1. Wash rajma and soak overnight with sufficient water. Drain the water in morning and replace it with fresh water, until cooking.

 2. Pressure cook rajma for 5-6 whistles without much water. In a pan, add coconut oil and temper with mustard seeds, followed by urad dal, chopped ginger, slit green chillies, curry leaves, hing. 

 3. Add the cooked rajma and stir well to coat all the tempered ingredients. Reduce the flame to min and add grated coconut and salt and stir well. Change the flame to medium and cook for a min or two and then switch off the flame.

Suggestions:

• Coconut oil enhances the flavour and aroma of the sundal. It can also be replaced with any other oil.

Happy Navarathri !!!
