Method:

1. Soak rajma overnight.Rinse it well and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles(depends on the variety of rajma)with enough water,Set aside.Dry roast the items listed under ‘to roast & grind’ till golden brown.
2. Cool down and grind it to a fine powder,Set aside.Heat oil in a pan – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.
3. Then add cooked rajma along with powder,give a quick stir.Sprinkle little water for the masalas to coat well.Then add coconut, give quick mix and switch off.

Serve it warm with papad / chips.

My Notes:

• I used the lighter color rajma variety so it got cooked well in 4 whistles itself.So the number of whistles for pressure cooking depends on the variety of rajma.
• Amma always adds coconut and switches off for any sundal and poriyal as raw coconut is of no cholestrol so its better not to cook coconut for more time.
• I always add little less water while cooking rajma so that I can use the cooked water too.
• You can aeven add 1/4 tsp coriander seeds while roasting , gives a great flavour to the sundal.
