Rajma paratha



i tried this from my collection of Sanjeev Kapoor's books..made slight variations in it .that is to say i omitted a few ingredients 'cos i didnt have them at home ..Rajma is red kidney beans ;the one in the picture !
To make this :
You will need to soak about 1/3 cup rajma for 10-12 hrs. Cook it in a pressure cooker for at least 1/2 hr. Rajma takes a long time to cook. Mash the cooked rajma well using potato masher. Reserve the cooking liquid.



Now to the mashed rajma add 1 cup wheat flour, 1 tsp red chilly powder, 2 tbsp tomato puree, about 8-10 finely chopped mint leaves, 2 tbsp oil & salt. Add the cooking liquid if required instead of water. Knead well to make a soft pliable dough.
Make balls out of the dough .Roll using a rolling pin & make parathas drizzling a little oil on each side .
ingredients i omitted - 1 tsp dry pomegranate powder- 1 tbsp soyabean flour
u can add them if u have at home.

I served this with matar mushroom.
