Spicy Rajma Gravy – In pressure cooker

 Rajma gravy was a popular dish in Punjabi cuisine. I had moderated it to our taste buds. I made this delicious gravy in the pressure cooker, and it reduces the cooking time. As pressure cooking saves the cooking time , this can be made in a jiffy.

 This is a best combo with rice, roti and pulov.
