Rajma pulao Mexican fried rice
INGREDIENTS:
METHOD:
Wash the rice and drain the water.
Slice the onions and chop the capsicum .
Peel the skin of the garlic and finely chop them. Puree the tomato in a mixer. Soak the red kidney beans overnight and pressure cook this till it becomes soft. Drain the water and keep it aside.
In a heavy bottomed pan, add oil and throw in the chopped garlic.
Then add the sliced onions and saute till it becomes soft and turns pink.
Now add the chopped capsicum( i used the red color one). Saute well. Add salt.
Now add the rice and saute well till it turns slightly golden brown.Be careful not to burn it. This is more important as it will give a nice texture to the rice when it is cooked.
Add the pureed tomatoes and mix well.
Add the cooked red kidney beans and throw in the pepper powder and oregano.
Add 3 cups of vegetable broth to this. Check for salt.
Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Turn the flame down to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with fork. Do not mash it. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Mine got over so i didn’t use .
Note:
You can use canned red kidney beans also. In that case drain the water and wash it thoroughly and use. Tomato can be replaced with tomato puree also. In that case use 1/2 cup of puree.
