Coriander Mint Rajma

I had some leftover boiled rajma. I didnt want to make rajma like I always do, like everyone does in the tomato paste. 
T. Susan Chang in  These 10 summer cookbooks talks about beans and The Better Bean Cookbook
Even 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.
Rajma tikki and rajma kadhi

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.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
