Rajmah is a very popular dish in greater pan-jab area. We can make many dishes with it. Rajmah chawal is very popular food which is served with tamarind water with onion on chaat stalls. It also goes well with chapati, tandoori roti, mexican fried gorditas and naan etc etc. Here below is the whole process how I made it:

6.5 cups of water
1/2 tin of tomato paste(85 grams)
1 spoon of salt
1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
1 big onion

pinch of asafetida

1 finely chopped green chili
1/4 tsp of red chili powder
1/4 tsp of garam masala

2. Next wash it with fresh water. Now take the soaked rajma with salt, turmeric powder, asafetida and 6.5 cups of water. Pour one drop of oil and mix. Boil it in the pressure cooker. As soon as first whistles comes, lower the heat to the minimum and let it cook for 30 minutes. Now remove from fire. Open it when it gets cooled down completely.
