well it consists of two things. Chawal is called Rice and Rajma is a kind of cereal which is widely available in the grocery shops in India. Rice is prepared in the usual way by boiling it and adding salt to it and draining the water from the boiled rice, what we also called steamed rice. For Rajma, first we have to soak them 2 hrs before cooking it, then we boil them, then we prepare a paste for them. For the paste we need finely refined oil, chopped onions, grated tomatoes, garlic and ginger paste, red pepper, salt, Coriander Powder, Garam Masala, Turmeric Powder. For preparing the paste, heat the oil and saut the onions and garlic and giner paste for approximately 15 minutes till the onions become ligt brown. Then add the tomatoe paste to it ans saute till the time the paste turns brown. Add salt, red pepper, turmeric powder, coriander powder and saute for 20 minutes. Then add the paste to the boiled rajma along with the water in which rajma were boiled. Let it cook till the time the gravy turns thick. Add coriander leaves and a quarter teaspoon of garam masala to garnish.
