This is one of my favorites. I used to love this in childhood when prepared by my mouji ( grandma). You can serve this with steaming hot rice or roti.

1 1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1 tsp zeera powder
1 tsp dhania powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp oil
5cups water
Salt as per taste

Method:
Soak razmah in water overnight or at least 5-6hours. Then drain and keep it. In a pressure cooker add the soaked and drained razmah , add in 5 cups water, one full head garlic peeled , turmeric,1/2 tsp red chilly powder and salt to taste. Pressure cook on high flame up to 5 whistles and then keep on low flame for 20minutes. After 20min switch off the flame. Let the pressure drop. Meanwhile make the bhagaar. In a pan heat 2 tbsp oil, throw in chopped onion and saute for sometime until the onion becomes soft. Then add in chopped tomatoes saute for few more minutes and then put zeera , dhaniya powder and remaining red chilly powder. Give a good stir.  Your bhagaar is ready. Open the pressure cooker once its pressure has dropped completely. Put the whole bhagaar mixture into this. Stir it be careful while doing this don't break the razmah and switch on the flame. Keep it on stove for few minutes letting the bhagaar to infuse with razmah. Give a slow stir check for salt and season it if required. Your razmah is ready. Enjoy !!!
