To prepare a healthy rajma soup recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients.

• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 teaspoon butter
• Chopped fresh coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
• Salt as per taste

Directions:

1. To prepare rajma soup, heat a pressure cooker and add butter. Once the butter melts, add chopped garlic and ginger and sauté for around 30 seconds.
2. Next, add into the butter chopped onions and stir fry until they turn soft.
3. Then add finely chopped tomatoes. Add some salt to cook the tomatoes faster.
4. Sauté until tomatoes turn mushy.

7. Once the water starts boiling, close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 whistles.
8. Lower the heat and then simmer for 5-7 minutes.
9. Turn off the flame and let the cooker cool down, allowing the steam to escape naturally.
10. Open the lid to check if the beans are well cooked by pressing the cooked beans between thumb and fingers. If the beans are still hard, then cook again for at least a couple of whistles.
11. Once the beans are cooked, take a hand blender or the back of a ladle to blend rajma to get a soup consistency. By this time, you should be able to mash most of the beans. If you think the soup is too thick, add some more drinking water to adjust the consistency.
