Getting the best out of your Rajma Kashmiri

Extracting the best flavour out of any dish is art, which requires planning and some technique, Here are some tips to make amazing Rajma Recipes: 1. Always store dry rajma in a dry airtight container at room temperature. Do not directly store them in the fridge! Once cooked, rajma can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 5 days (freeze for a maximum of 6 months). Remember that rajma are best used within a year, lest they lose moisture which makes them unsuitable to cook. 2. Your tomato puree needs to be fried for ample time (at least two minutes). The flavour needs to sink in. 3. Serving papad can never go wrong with any rajma-based dish. 4. The Vaishno Dhabas in Jammu serve rajma with ghee on top of the rice along with sliced onions and lemon wedges. Keep in mind the spices you use in your rajma curry though; you don’t want to up the flavours too much. 5. Soaking is all-important. For best results soak your rajma overnight (at least 8 to 9 hours). 6. The age of the rajma hampers the amount of water it lets percolate. Add salt to cook the plain beans better in the pressure cooker. Try this delicious Kashmiri Rajma recipe and make meal-time more nutritious!
