I must put a recipe on for Rajma soon. It's so yummy and simple. But no, I am not a huge experimenter but things quickly do go out of hand when alcohol is involved... Happy cooking!

But no, I am not a huge experimenter but things quickly do go out of hand when alcohol is involved…

Happy cooking!

Do you have a good recipe for rajma. I MISS the little Himalayan frozen villages that always have a pot of rajma going. Also, since you like Mexican do you find yourself starting off e.g., marinating meat with the "continental" approach (balsamic, salt, pepper, etc.) then giving in to the need for soy, cumin, coriander, chile (okAY that's enough), then unable to stop add a thing of coconut/lime/ginger (when no one is looking). Then brown sugar. Just a bit, practically invisible by now. Then as you reach for the unsweetened cocoa and some sort of cognac someone drags you out of the kitchen. Is this a disease?

That's actually how they make it in India. I just never use a pressure coz I'm too absent minded to remember when to turn it off and I don't want a minor explosion. Do you think you could time how long it takes in a pressure cooker and let me know? It would be useful info for other pressure cooker users... You can stalk me anytime. Absolutely!
