Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For best results, use pre-cooked rajma (kidney beans) and basmati rice.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- If you don't have hung curd, Greek yogurt works as an excellent substitute for the beetroot sauce.
- Roasting the eggplant before pureeing it adds a deeper, smokier flavor to the eggplant sauce. You can roast it in the oven or over an open flame.
