Tomatoes, chopped 2 medium
Garam masala powder 1/2 tsp

Method

Pressure cook half black urad and rajma in three cups of water with salt and half the red chilli powder for three to four whistles. Open the lid and see if the rajma is totally soft. Heat butter and oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds. When they begin to change color, add ginger and garlic paste and onion and saute till golden. Add slit green chillies, tomatoes and saute on high heat. Add the tomatoes and saute till the tomatoes are reduced to a pulp. Add the cooked dal and rajma along with the cooking liquor.See to that its not liquid.You can empty the urad dal and rajma first then the cooking liquor. Add some water if the mixture is too thick. Add garam masala powder and heavy creme.Put salt if needed. Simmer on low heat till the dals are totally soft and well blended. Serve hot with roti or rice.
