Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse and soak the kidney beans overnight or for 8 to 9 hours in enough water.
- Next day drain the water and rinse the beans a few times with fresh water.
- In a 3 litre stovetop pressure cooker, add the soaked beans. Also add 1 teaspoon salt and 4 cups water. Pressure cook on high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or till the beans are softened and tender.
- Let the pressure fall on its own in the cooker and then only open the lid.
- Check the beans and they should be completely cooked.
- Then drain the water and keep the cooked kidney beans aside.
Making rajma sundal
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoon sesame oil in a pan or kadai. Keep the heat to a low.
- Add mustard seeds and split hulled black gram (urad dal).
- The mustard seeds will crackle and the urad dal will get browned. Stir often.
- They almost take the same time to cook on a low heat.
- Once the urad dal gets golden then add curry leaves, dry red chilies (broken and seeds removed) and asafoetida (hing).
- Fry for few seconds till the curry leaves become crisp and the red chillies change color.
- Now add the cooked kidney beans. Season with salt according to taste.
- Stir and mix gently. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes on a low to medium heat.
- Switch off the heat and add the fresh grated coconut. Mix well again.
- Serve the rajma sundal as prashad or naivedyam. Or serve with a South Indian vegetarian main course or as a side dish.
Notes
- Use kidney beans which are in their shelf period. Do not use aged beans as they will take a lot of time to cook.
- Remember to soak the kidney beans overnight. Feel free to use canned kidney beans instead if short of time.
- The kidney beans can be pressure cooked in the Instant pot also. Add water as required while cooking in the instant pot.
- Instead of dry red chillies, you can add green chillies. You can also swap the chillies with a bit of crushed black pepper.
- If you do not have fresh coconut, then swap it with frozen coconut. Thaw the frozen coconut before adding to the dish.
- This recipe can be doubled.
