50g rajma (red kidney beans)

Method:
1. Wash the whole urad dal, rajma
properly.2. Soak in water over night or for 6 to 8 hours
3. Chop the onion, garlic, ginger and green chilies.
4. Boil the urad dal and Rajma with onion, ginger, garlic, green chilies and salt until urad dal and Rajma is cooked. Use the water that has been used to soak the dal while boiling . I have used a pressure cooker to boil them.
5. Heat the oil. Add the cumin seed and fenugreek seed. Stir until they crackle
6. Add tomato puree or paste and stir for a minute
7. Add to the cooked dal and combine well
9. Add cream ( single or double or low fat depending on your choice) and cook for 10/15 mis
10. Add Garam masala and cook for 5 mins
11. Serve with naan, tandori roti or rice
Note: If you want to make it healthy, you can also use milk. And
the dal taste awesome without the cream/milk as well.
