    For the second day of Holiday Dishes, I have a biryani that I cooked on a weekend during my kids vacation. Kids love biryanis and if the vegetarian version tastes like a chicken they like it better. I wanted to make with this Rajma as I love lentils in rice combination. We are very fond of Channa Pulao.
    The meal was a simple yet so delicious. It surely is a treat to cook during weekends or vacations. I have some chocolate dishes done during the vacation. I have ignored them to have a variety here. 

    Rajma Tomato Biryani
    Ingredients Needed:
    Rajma - 1 cup
    Rice - 2 cups
    For the Ground Masala
    Cloves - 2 nos
    Cinnamon - 2"
    Cardamon - 1 
    Onions - 1 big
    Tomato - 2 big
    For the Masala
    Bay Leaf - 1 big
    Onion, julienne - 1 medium
    Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
    Green Chilies - 2 nos
    Red Chili - 1 tsp
    Coriander powder  - 1 tsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Salt to taste
    Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
    Coriander leaves handful
    Oil - 2 tsp
    Ghee - 1 tsp
    How to make the Rice in Pan
    Wash and soak the rice in water for around 20 mins.
    Soak the Rajma in plenty of water overnight. Change waters couple of times and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles or till it is softly cooked. Retain along with water aside.
    In a mixer, take the spices, onions, and tomatoes and grind to a smooth paste.
    Next in a nonstick pan, heat oil and saute the bay leaf along with onions. When the onions turn colour, add the ginger garlic paste, saute well. 
    Then add the ground masala and cook on high for the masala to get cooked well.
    Now add all the spice powders and combine everything well. When the masala is well cooked, add the boiled rajma. Simmer till the masala is well coated around the rajma.
    Next, drain the rice and add to the pan. If using basmati rice, add 3 cups water else 4 cups water. Combine on high and add water and bring to boil.
    Cover with lid and simmer when the water starts to boil. Cook for 15 to 20 mins.
    If required place this pan on a Tawa and cook for 5 mins.
    Serve with raitha.
