Instructions
- To begin making the Rajma Galouti Kebab Recipe, we will first soak the rajma for at least 8 hours
- After the soaking period, cook the rajma along with salt until very soft
- If you press the rajma between your fingers it should mash easily
- To cook the rajma, place the rajma in the pressure cooker, add salt and 2-1/2 cups of water
- Cover the pressure cooker, place the weight on and pressure cook until you hear 5 to 6 whistles
- After 5 to 6 whistles, turn the heat to low the simmer for about 20 minutes
- After 20 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat
- Allow the pressure to release naturally
- The rajma will continue to cook under the pressure that exists in the cooker
- This will take another 15 minutes
- Once the rajma are cooked through completely, drain the excess water
- You can use the water in stocks or soups or even cooking rice
- We will now begin to make the Rajma Galouti Kebabs
- We will first grind the mint leaves, green chillies, ginger, garlic, cashew nut together in a food processor to make coarse mixture
- Next add in the rajma and blend again into the mixture
- Add this kebab mixture into a large mixing bowl
- Add the remaining kebab ingredients, except the oil and knead well to make a kebab dough
- Divide the mixture into 8 to 10 equal portions
- Shape the portions into round circular discs
- Our final steps is to cook the Rajma Galouti Kebab
- To do that, preheat a pan and grease it with oil
- Place the shaped Kebab portions on the preheated skillet
- Drizzle a few drops of oil over the kebabs and pan fry them on both sides until lightly crisp
- Proceed the same way to make the remaining Rajma Galouti Kebabs
- Place them on a serving platter and serve it along with Green Chutney
