Love Rajma chawara anytime, this is the way mamma cooked it and now I cook it. The ground masala is versatile and anything can be added, chickpeas, any assortment of vegetables taste great too. We have also tried this masala with chicken and its lovely.
Ingredients
1 cup Rajma (Red Kidney Beans)
handful curry leaves
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
a pinch turmeric
1/4 tsp garam masala
salt to taste
fresh coriander leaves for garnish
lime juice as per taste
The Masala

2 tbsp fresh coconut, grated
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
few mint leaves
5 whole black pepper corns

Method

- Heat 1 tsp oil in a kadai, add the curry leaves, coriander powder, red chili powder and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute on low.
