Tonight, indulge in a delightful Rajma Sunflower Sabzi to savor the wholesome goodness of beans and sunflowers, perfect for a nutritious meal!

1

Start by rinsing the rajma (red kidney beans) and soaking them in water for about 6 hours or overnight.

2

After soaking, drain the rajma and cook them in a pressure cooker with 3 cups of water for about 15 minutes until they are soft. Set aside.

3

In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.

4

Chop the onion and add it to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent.

5

Finely chop the ginger, garlic, and green chili and add them to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Chop the tomatoes and add them to the mixture. Stir and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5-7 minutes.

7

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate.

8

Add the cooked rajma along with sunflower seeds to the pan. Mix everything gently and let it cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

9

Taste and adjust seasoning if required. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves just before serving.
