Oh! And I’m a huge fan!

“The sardarji himself is not from the Punjab but Rawalpindi”…Where do you think is Rawalpindi? Tamil Nadu?

This concept is the foundation of the very best Italian cooking, and of Lebanese as well…use the freshest, finest ingredients you can find, use the fewest ingredients you can, and use impeccable technique but keep it simple and allow the ingredients to speak for themselves.

As a counterpoint, here is a video of two Indian Rachael Rays with their version; it might be instructional to compare results:

There is one thing I simply don’t understand, and it appears to be a cultural difference in how Indians from the homeland write recipes: why on earth do you insist on using weights? It’s not as if everyone has a scale in the kitchen. For crying out loud, wouldn’t it be so much simpler to use volumes like cups, mL, tablespoons, cubic inches or whatever?

Not soaking overnight is a great timesaver – I hate planning recipes a day ahead. If you love Rajma, you might want to try out a hundred similar recipes…

Fantastic blog and enjoyed reading this post. Am a big rajma fan. I just realised we’ve also met- at Anand and Navaz’s home in Bangalore?

Gopinath,

Actually your story is better than your Rajma Recipe.
IMHO, My Rajma tastes far better than your Guru’s recipe. Not boasting boss but you have not come across the best in the field. LOL.

Loved your writings and for that, I would put your blog on my watch list.

Most excellent. Both the rajma, and the way this piece was presented. I prepared this rajma for my non – indian colleauges (14 of them) and it was a huge success.

Many thanks.
