Hi Dhivi, Nice recipe. Never had Rajma in my life. Will try it for sure.. The picture makes the dish looks delicious... One question. When should I add the cooked Rajma?? Before or After adding the tomatoes and curd??
hi IloveTulips, Thank you for your first feedback. You can add rajma after adding the tomatoes. I've made the changes in the recipe too. Thanks for notifying.
