My Notes:

I used the lighter color rajma variety so it got cooked well in 4 whistles itself.So the number of whistles for pressure cooking depends on the variety of rajma.

Amma always adds coconut and switches off for any sundal and poriyal as raw coconut is of no cholestrol so its better not to cook coconut for more time.

I always add little less water while cooking rajma so that I can use the cooked water too.

You can aeven add 1/4 tsp coriander seeds while roasting , gives a great flavour to the sundal.
