How to make Rajma Chawal / Rajma Chawal Recipe / Step by Step Recipe to make Rajma Chawal
Rajma Chawal is a very famous dish from north
Indian cuisine. It is a simple yet
delicious meal. I learnt this healthy dish from my neighbor who actually hails
from Punjab.
It tastes lipsmacking when served hot with
steamed rice and now it has turned out to be one of the most favorite comfort foods
at our home too.
We know Rajma is rich in iron and protein and when it combines
with rice, it makes a great source of carbohydrates.
This famous North Indian delicacy is made
with red kidney beans cooked in a delicious tomato based gravy and with mild spices and served with hot
steaming rice.
