Flavorful pressure cooker rajma biryani is one-pot, protein-rich spicy pulao. Perfect for a weekday meal. It is also a tasty main course for get-togethers, dinner parties, etc.

Soaking rajma overnight helps for perfect cooking. If kidney beans are not soaked well, they might not cook properly. Always cook Rajma with enough water and salt make sure it perfectly cooked then prepare Rajma pulao. Cooking Rajma along with rice wont work

I soaked the rice. Adjust the soaking time according to the variety of rice you use.

Can I skip curd?

Yes, but in that case add tomatoes accordingly
