Ingredients

½ cup Kidney Beans
1 Turnip
½ tbsp Fennel Powder
⅛ tsp Ginger Powder
1 Green Cardamom
1 Black Cardamom
2 Cloves
½ tsp Asafoetida
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
2 tsp Oil
½ tbsp Kashmiri Masala
2 tsp Salt
1.5 cups Water

Instructions

Prep - Work

Soak the rajma overnight or for at least 4 to 6 hours.
Peel the turnip skin and chop them into big chunks.
Crush the green cardamom, black cardamom, and the cloves.

Instant Pot Method

Set the IP in saute mode and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let it crackle.
Then add the hing and the crushed cardamom, cloves mix.
Saute for about 30 seconds and then add the soaked kidney beans, followed by chopped turnips, salt, fennel and ginger powder. Then mix them all.
Add 1.5 cups of water and remix the ingredients. Set the IP in manual mode and cook for 10 minutes and let the pressure release naturally.
Once the pressure is dropped, carefully open the lid and then set the IP back to saute mode.
Now add the Kashmiri masala and let it simmer in saute mode for 5 minutes and then set it "keep warm" mode or serve hot with rice.

Pressure Cooker Method

Pressure cook the kidney beans and turnip by adding 1.5 cups of water for up to 3 whistles.
Let the pressure drop and set the beans aside. Do not drain the water.
Heat the kadai and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let it crackle.
Then add the hing and the crushed cardamom, cloves mix.
Saute for about 30 seconds and then add the cooked beans and turnip.
Next add the salt, fennel powder, ginger powder, Kashmiri masala and mix well.
Let this bean mix simmer for at least 5 to 7 minutes.
That's it. Rajma gogji is ready.

Notes

I kept the recipe super simple without onion or garlic. But you can include onion, garlic, and tomatoes too.
As mentioned above, replace Kashmiri masala with paneer tikka masala or kitchen king masala and red chili powder.
Adjust the salt and spice as per your preference. I did not add red chili powder as the Kashmiri masala had red chili in it.
Do not add ginger powder more than ¼ tsp.
