My experiments with Slow cooker series - Rajma

As you may know, any kind of lentils cook very well in slow cooker. Today's post is Rajma which came out nice and creamy. I added the Rajma directly (dry beans), No soaking overnight. Rajma has good amount of Iron and is very healthy. 

Rajma

Ingredients :

3/4 Cup Rajma (Kidney beans)

1 Medium onion

1 Tomato

1 1/2 Tbsp Oil

1 Inch Ginger

2 Cloves of Garlic

1 Tsp Whoe Jeera

1 Tsp Garam masala

4 Small Green chillies

1/4 Tsp Turmeric

Salt to taste

5 cups water

Cut onion , tomato into small pieces.Slice ginger into juliens and chop garlic.

Take a microwave bowl add oil, whole jeera, Onion, Garlic, Garam masala and cook for 2 minutes.

In the slow cooker add Rajma,Ginger,Turmeric,Green Chillies tomato, water ,salt and Tadka. Stir well and cook on low for 7 -8 Hours on high. It will not harm even if you leave it for another hour or so. 

Alternately if you are at home, you can add tadka later after 5 hrs of cooking process instead of at starting.

Serve hot with roti.
