Ingredients

  • 1 cup rajma red kidney beans
  • 3 tablespoon grated coconut
  • salt to taste

To roast and grind:

  • 2 teaspoon chana dal
  • 1 teaspoon urad dal
  • 2 nos red chillies

To temper:

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • a sprig of curry leaves

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 Rajma Sundal warm with papad / chips.

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 teaspoon coriander seeds while roasting , gives a great flavour to the sundal.
