Heat oil or ghee in a pan over medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Toss in the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant. Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the masala.

4. Spice it Up with Nuvi:

Sprinkle in Nuvi’s Turmeric Powder, Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder and Garam Masala. Stir well and let the spices infuse their magic for 2 minutes.

5. Simmer to Perfection:

Add the cooked rajma along with its water. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer on low heat, allowing the flavours to blend beautifully. Adjust salt as needed.
