Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base Tadka

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a pressure cooker. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 green cardamom, and 1 big cardamom. Sauté until the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 2: Sauté Onions and Aromatics

Add 1 big sliced onion to the cooker and cook until it turns translucent and slightly golden brown. Then, add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and 1 chopped green chili. Sauté for about 1 minute until the raw smell of ginger-garlic disappears.

Step 3: Add Powdered Spices

Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix well to combine with the sautéed aromatics.

Step 4: Incorporate Kitchen King and Kasoori Methi

Add 1 tablespoon of Kitchen King masala and 1 teaspoon of Kasoori Methi (dried fenugreek leaves). Sauté the spices for another minute, ensuring they are well combined and fragrant.

Step 5: Cook Tomato Purée

Pour in the purée of 2 tomatoes. Cook the tomato mixture, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate from the masala, indicating it's well cooked.

Step 6: Add Rajma and Season

Add 3/4 cup of pre-soaked rajma (kidney beans) to the cooked masala. Mix thoroughly to coat the rajma with the spices. Season with salt to taste and stir again.

Step 7: Pressure Cook Rajma

Add 2.5 cups of water to the mixture and mix everything together. Close the pressure cooker lid and cook for 4-5 whistles on a low flame to ensure the rajma is tender.

Step 8: Add Rice and Final Cook

Once the pressure is naturally released, open the lid. Add 1 cup of pre-soaked rice to the cooked rajma. Gently stir the rice into the rajma mixture. Add about 1 teaspoon of ghee on top of the rice for extra flavor.

Step 9: Finish Cooking Rajma Rice

Close the pressure cooker lid again and cook for 1-2 whistles on a low flame until the rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy. Once done, let the pressure release naturally before opening the lid.

Step 10: Serve

Open the cooker, gently fluff the Rajma Rice with a spoon. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
