Notes

  1. To cook rajma: Soak ½ cup of rajma for 8-10 hours or overnight for best results.Add soaked rajma & 1 ½ cups of water to a pressure cooker and cook on high till the first whistle. Cook on low for 17 minutes till the rajma is cooked well. Let it depressurize by itself. Drain the rajma till all the water is separated.
  2. Tzatziki sauce may be replaced with a sauce of your choice.
