- Add the rajma, mix well, mash it lightly using a potato masher and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.
For the uncooked salsa
- Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and mash it lightly using the back of a spoon for 2 to 3 minutes so that the flavours blend well. Keep aside.
How to proceed to make tacos
- Fill a taco shell with 1 tbsp of rajma filling, ½ tbsp of uncooked salsa and spread ½ tsp of tomato ketchup and ¼ tsp of chilli sauce evenly over it.
- Arrange a few shredded lettuce leaves and 2 tsp of grated cheese evenly over it.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make 13 more tacos.

Handy tip:
- ¾ cup of raw rajma when soaked for 8 hours, drained and pressure cooked with enough water for 6 whistles gives 2 cups of cooked rajma.
