Method:
Wash the kidney beans well with water & soak them for 4-5 hours, you can also soak them in hot water for 2 hours.
Add the soaked kidney beans into a pressure cooker, pour water upto 1-1.5 inches above the kidney beans, then add salt & put the lid on, switch on the gas flame to high & cook for 7-8 minutes until the first whistle.
Then lower the flame to medium low & cook for 2 more whistles for 10-15 minutes then switch off the flame & let the cooker depressurize naturally.
Your boiled kidney beans are ready.
To make brown onions for brown onion paste, add the oil into a hot handi & once the oil get hot add the onions & fry them over medium flame until they turn golden brown while stirring at regular intervals.
Once the onions turn golden brown, transfer them into a sieve & squeeze out the excess oil.
Add the fried onions into a mixer grinder jar & add a splash of water, grind the onions into a fine paste & your brown onion paste is ready.
Set a handi over high flame & heat it well, then add oil & let the oil heat well too.
Once the oil is hot, add all the whole spices & stir them quickly.
Further add the ginger garlic chilli paste, stir & cook over medium flame briefly, then add turmeric powder, stir & cook for few seconds.
Then add the tomato puree along with salt & all the powdered spices, stir the spices into the puree & add the brown onion paste, stir well & cook the masala well for 10-12 minutes until the oil gets separated.
If the masala gets dry, add hot water as required & continue to cook it further.
Once the oil gets separated, add the boiled kidney beans along with the water & mix well with the masala & bring it to a boil.
Once the rajma comes to a boil, cover it & cook over medium low flame for 20-25 minutes.
After cooking the rajma for 20-25 minutes the gravy will thicken up a bit & its colour with get slightly darker too, now to make the gravy even creamier mash the rajma using a ladle gently & continue to cook it for 1-2 minutes.
