Introduction

Everyone has their own way of making gravies. I have tried different methods and liked all of them. Today I made a simplified version of Rajma by grinding all the ingredients together and simmering the mixture for some time. It was very tasty. My husband was carried away with the aroma of Rajma when he entered the house. Everyone has their own way of making gravies. I have tried different methods and liked all of them.
