Quick Rajma "Baked" Beans.

"Baked" beans is a regular fare in our family, my son and myself love it very much.

I make baked beans using different kinds of beans each time, today I decided to use Rajma.

The major differentiating factor in this recipe is that I do not "bake" my baked beans but rather pressure cook them. I guess this recipe should be called "Pressure Cooked Baked Beans". :)

This is not an original recipe, I prepare it to suit the taste buds in our family.

Ingredients

3/4 cup rajma soaked in water over night,

1/2 cup barbecue sauce,

1/2 cup molasses,
2 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup,

1/4 onion, chopped fine,

salt to taste,

1/4 tsp white pepper,

1 tsp mustard,

2 tsp oil.

Method

• Heat the pressure cooker on medium high heat and add 2 tsp oil.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and water to cover the rajma. The water should be about 1 inch above the rajma, approximately 1 and 1/2 cups water. Mix well.
• Put the lid on with the whistle and pressure cook for 5-6 whistles.
• Once you open the cooker and if it has to much liquid then cook a few minutes uncovered till you get the desired consistency.
• There you go , pressure cooked "baked" beans ready to enjoy along with grilled chicken or fish and a salad.

Note

Make it as spicy as you like. I made my mild bcoz of my kids.

Can omit onions and mustard.
