- While rajma are boiled, let's arrange all ingredients for faster and easier preparation later.
- Now grind onions and tomatoes separately to form paste and puree respectively.
- Rajma is done and can be checked when it is easily pressed between our fingers, Mash few Rajma beans so that also help later for gravy to be thicker at later stage. Sorry No pics :(

- Once our ginger-garlic is done, we can now add the fresh tomato puree and mix it well and cover the pan with steel plate and let it cook for 10 mins on medium flame and stir once or twice in between so that it doesn't stick with surface.
- Post 10 mins, the tomatoes are done with no raw smell. - - Now we add dry powdered spices namely cumin powder, rajma masala coriander powder and red chilli powder including the salt and mix.
- Cook all the spices for 2 mins and then include cooked rajma and same curry we used to boil Rajma and mix it well with additional ½ cup boiling water.
