Cook the soaked daal and rajma in 5-6 cups of water with salt, red chilli powder, fennel seeds powder, turmeric, and grated ginger till daal and rajma are done/soft (pressure cooker for 10-12 whistles). Lightly mash dall and rajma mixture, keep aside.

Correct seasoning, and simmer at very slow flame for 15-20 minutes. Add fresh cream and let it simmer for 5 minutes and turn off the heat. Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
