Razma masala recipe

Razma curry is one of the popular dishes in North India. Almost on every special occasion, this dish is being served. Though I belong to South, I cook this curry for my husband. Though this is the first time I tried, it has turned delicious and yummy. Let's get started with the ingredients that are required to prepare this Razma masala.

Ingredients:

Razma-- 1 and 1/2 Cups
Tomatoes- 2
Onion - 1
Ginger - 3 or 4
Green chillies
Asafoetida (a pinch)
Salt
Red chilli powder
Garam masala - 1/2 spoon
Milk cream
Oil,ghee
Mustard
Cuminseeds
Cilantro



Process:

1. Wash and soak Razma in 4-5 cups of water whole night. And pressure cook the razma along with the same water for 3 whistles on the next day. Let it cool for sometime and don't throw the water away.
2. Chop ginger,onions,tomatoes and green chillies into fine pieces.
3.  Take a pan. Put some spoons of Oil and Ghee in the pan. (I prefer ghee or butter along with oil while making tadka as it smells best while cooking). Add mustard,cumin seeds and allow them to splutter. Now add green chillies, ginger, onions and let them cook for some time.
4. Now add salt,red chilli powder.
5. After few mins, add tomatoes. Stir it for some time until the oil gets separated from the curry. Now add razma along with water. Wait for 8-10 mins. Once the excess water evaporates and when the gravy consistency seems fine, add 2 spoons of milk cream, a lil of garam masala and blend the curry.
Turn off the stove and sprinkle some cilantro on the top. and it's ready to have :)

It goes well either with rice or roti.
