Rajma Vegetarian Chili Recipes

RAJMA (VEGETARIAN CHILI)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan set over moderate heat, warm the oil until hot, add the onions and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, gingerroot, cumin seeds, Garam Masala, lemon pepper, and dried red pepper flakes, if desired, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Add the beans and salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro.

15 MINUTE RAJMA (INDIAN VEGETARIAN CHILI)

Steps:

• Part I (5minutes) 1. Set stove to high, and add in a small amount of olive oil, margarine or butter to a deep frying pan or pot. 2. Once oil is very hot, add in onions and stir. 3. Add turmeric and stir -- cook until onions are slightly caramalized. (Be careful as turmeric will stain your clothes and appliances.) 4. Add in tomato and bring to boil. Part II (5 minutes) 5. Add in kidney beans, stir and bring to boil (5 minutes). Then reduce to a low-medium heat. Part III (5minutes) I do this part while the kidney beans are cooking to save time. 6. Chop, then add in all of the ingredients listed in Part III above, stir and serve. It is important NOT to let either garam masala or ginger boil for a long time, or else it adds a bitter flavour -- hence these two ingredients are added last. This dish stores well in the fridge and freezes well -- it always tastes even better the next day once the spices have soaked in. Serve with hot, steamed rice (Basmati or any long grain rice) or with Pita bread. If serving with rice, I get the rice cooking before I start this recipe, so that it cooks while I prep and cook the beans -- like I said, no more than 15 minutes, from start to finish, including all chopping.

VEGETARIAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, red onion, poblano, bell pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and a few grinds of pepper.
• Add the lager and simmer until mostly reduced, about 1 minute. Add 2 1/2 cups water and the tomatoes. Stir in the black beans and pink beans. Bring to a simmer and cook, adjusting the heat as needed and stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir in the cilantro.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN CHILI IN THE WORLD
