Luxuriously smooth red kidney bean patties spiced with pantry ingredients and shallow-fried to perfection, these Rajma Galouti Kebabs are a treat to have! Here's how to make it at home.
2 cups rajma, or red kidney beans ¼ cup mint leaves ½ cup coriander leaves 4-5 garlic cloves 1-inch piece of ginger ¼ cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt ¼ cup oil
Soak the rajma in a large mixing for 12 hours, minimum, then, drain them and add them to a pressure cooker.
Add just enough water to submerge the rajma and cook them for 5 whistles on medium-low flame. Drain the rajma and add it to a mixer-grinder.
Add the coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic, and ginger to the rajma and blend them into a smooth paste.
To the rajma paste add the AP flour, garam masala, red chilli powder, and salt. Mix them well by hand.
Grease your hands and take a golf ball-sized mixture and flatten them into a patty. Place them on a greased baking tray, then refrigerate them for an hour.
In a frying pan, add the oil and put it on medium flame. Add the rajma patties in batches and shallow fry them on both sides for 5 minutes each.
Serve warm with parathas, pickled onions, lime wedges, and green chillies and enjoy!
