Method (Step by Step with Images)

▪️ Step 1: Make the rajma

Heat oil in a pan.
Sauté onion + garlic till soft and aromatic.
Add grated tomato, salt, chilli powder.

Mix in cooked rajma and a splash of hot water.
Cook till slightly thick and masala-coated.

Warm, soft, and easy to digest is the goal.

▪️ Step 2: Marinate + roast paneer

Mix curd + all spices + salt.
Coat paneer cubes gently and rest for 5–10 minutes.

Heat ghee in a pan.
Shallow roast till slightly golden outside and soft inside. Or you can airfry at 180C for 10 min.

Don’t overcook - keep it juicy.

▪️ Step 3: Prepare coriander rice

Heat ghee.
Add cooked rice + salt + lots of fresh coriander.

Toss gently till fragrant.

This simple step makes the rice lighter, more aromatic, and Vata-soothing.

Keep it fresh and crunchy for contrast.

▪️ Step 5: Make the sauce

Cooling, probiotic, and digestion-friendly.
