Instructions to make Kidney Beans/Rajma Pulao/Khichdi:
  1. Wash & Soak the Kidney Beans overnight- Next day, pressure cook the same with sufficient water as is required for the same (it’s done usually in 4-5 whistles), ensuring that it’s well cooked but not mushy or broken at all
  2. Strain the boiled water or the kidney beans stock for its later use in the dish itself & not discard the same as it reserves & contains all the high proteins & nutrients in it, additional to that some more water can be used for the perfect required consistency
  3. Once the kidney beans are strained and kept separately- Keep all other aforementioned ingredients handy & readily available for the main dish preppings- as is needed
  4. Heat a heavy bottomed pan over the medium-high flame : Add in the ghee to it & then the tempering spices, until they all turn aromatic
  5. Add in the chopped onions to it now & sauté until translucent or maybe lightly golden brown- Add in the ginger-garlic paste to it & sauté until the raw smell goes off & then the tomatoes & green chillies coarse paste & keep sautéing
  6. Once done & the ghee separates & surfaces on the top: Add in the boiled beans/Rajma & keep sautéing until nicely combined- Add in some stock to it & continue stirring, add in the dry ground spices to it now, one by one while stirring continuously
  7. Time to add in the curd to it- While adding in the curd, keep in mind to reduce the flame & the well beaten curd is in the RT & then mix it with the dish- to prevent curdling of the same…mix everything well together until nicely combined
  8. Drop in the rest of the split green chillies, garam masala, chopped coriander leaves, etc. Give it all a really good mix…Now, add in the measured water for the Khichdi- Cover the pan & lower the flame to medium-low & allow it to cook for another 10-12 mins time or maybe, slightly more perhaps- checking once/twice in between
  9. Checking out on its doneness: Turn off the flame & let it sit on the hot oven for the next 15 mins time before serving it piping hot, post garnishing it (as you like)…with any of your choicest pickles, papads, salads or anything similar, alike… ENJOY TO THE T…
