I had some leftover boiled rajma. I didnt want to make rajma like I always do, like everyone does in the tomato paste.

I boiled potatoes and mashed it into Rajma for the tikki. In my perfect Rajma tikka world, coriander -mint chutney could not be missing, so I had that ready too with some yogurt blended in. Boiled rajma being in the fridge retained moisture in it in a coagulated form which was harder to read as watery, in went potato after potato to thicken the mixture. With average hopes, I set the patties in the pan, only to refuse to turn upside down, even with goading. thats when I got angry and mixed everything and the coriander-mint chutney and some peas. The outcome - Very tasty like Chaat. The whiff of fresh mint and coriander with the mashed potato and cooked kidney beans. Addictive.

Rajma tikki and rajma kadhiEven perfectly cooked beans can exhaust your appetite long before you get to the bottom of the bowl, for the blandness of a bean calls for aggressive seasoning to blast open its beige palette.
