So keep this in mind.
Secondly the ratio of onion to tomato is very important you may have seen that I have used 3 medium size onion and 4 medium size tomatoes use this exact ratio. even if you are making a large batch of Rajma then also maintain same ratio. With this ratio the flavour and colour and everything will always come perfect. The brown onion paste give a nice roasty flavour, and it’s result in a really amazing gravy for Rajma.
