Add the cooked rajma along with required stock, salt, ground rajma. Bring to boil, simmer for 10-15 mins. Add jaggery powder, garam masala, simmer 2-3 mins.
Garnish with coriander leaves.
Note
- Can use the same base gravy to make chole masala or mixed beans gravy as well.
- Adjust spice level as per your taste.
- Adding some ground rajma is what gives the curry the creaminess with the addition of cashew or cream. If you want a thin gravy then skip adding rajma paste.
