For kidney beans (rajma), after soaking overnight, it typically takes about 15-20 minutes on high pressure, then allow for natural pressure release. This ensures they are soft and fully cooked, which is important for digestibility. Always ensure beans are fully cooked to neutralize certain compounds.
Oh, for rajma! After soaking them well overnight, I usually give them about 6-7 whistles on medium-high heat in the pressure cooker, then let the pressure release naturally. They come out perfectly soft every time! 😋 Enjoy your rajma chawal!🍚
Oh, rajma! I used to panic if they weren't soft enough. But after soaking them for like 8-10 hours, I pressure cook them for about 20 minutes on medium-high heat (after the first whistle) and then let the pressure release naturally. They always turn out perfect! Don't worry, it's quite simple.
Kidney beans need good soaking, at least 8-10 hours. Then, in the pressure cooker, 15-20 minutes on medium-high flame after the first whistle. Let the steam release on its own. They'll be perfectly cooked for your rajma.
