I like the way Devlish Angel has made it above. Here’s my recipe:

Soak 2 cups of dry red kidney beans overnight in enough water.
Drain that water when you’re ready to cook, boil with a new batch of water, just enough to cover if you’re using a pressure cooker; otherwise you will require some more. I add some salt (not too much), one big elaichi, one bay leaf and let it boil until the beans are tender. Do not throw out the liquid as it contains precious nutrients at this point.

Slice 1 large onion finely.
Puree 4 roma tomatoes with 5-6 cloves of garlic and a 2" piece of ginger and one green chilli.

In a pot, add oil, then zeera and a few other whole assorted garam masala pieces such as cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon stick. As they begin to splutter, add the onions and lower stove to medium. When golden brown evenly, add the pureed tomatoes mixture, salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 heaped tsp coriander powder, 1 heaped tsp of deghi mirch, and some red chilli powder to taste. Stir well, cover and simmer until oil separates and teh masalas have blended. You may need to add some water if you feel the mixture is sticking to the bottom. Just for the extra kick, I usually add 1 tsp of Shan meat and vegetable masala.

Now add the boiled rajmahs with their liquid and simmer on low until all flavors have fused.

Garnish with cilantro.
