Raanh ~AlifBe~24
Raanh or Black eyed Beans cooked in onion tomato gravy!
Ingredients
  • Raanh (Black Eyed Beans) 1 cup
  • Onions 2
  • Tomatoes 2
  • Green chillies 2-3 (As per taste)
  • Ginger 1 inch piece
  • Salt
  • Turmeric powder ½ tsp
  • Coriander Powder 1 tbsp
  • Oil 2 tbsp
Method
  1. Pick, rinse several times with water and soak Raanh in water for 6-8 hours.
  2. Later discard the water if it is frothy and rinse 1-2 times again.
  3. In a pressure cooker heat 2 tbsp of oil, add chopped onions and ginger.
  4. Cook onions on medium to low flame, till brown.
  5. Add chopped tomatoes, green chillies, turmeric powder and little salt to facilitate softening of tomatoes.
  6. Mix well and allow tomatoes to turn mushy. Add about 1 cup of water and close the lid of pressure cooker and wait for 3 whistles.
  7. Put off the flame and let the pressure subside!
  8. Open the lid, whisk the mixture properly with a wooden whisk (Mandhiyaro).
  9. Add soaked beans and some salt along with a tbsp of coriander powder and mix properly. Add some water (about 2 cups) and again close the lid and wait for a whistle of cooker. Put the flame on lowest and allow beans to cook under pressure for 10 minutes. Comparatively fresh beans that are soaked well, tend to soften by then. Else cook a little longer.
