Rajma or Kidney bean Curry Masala
Rajma or Red Kidney beans are widely available in most parts of the country in India and Pakistan and are widely consumed in every household. Kidney beans are easily available in raw format or canned form all across the world. The canned beans are easily and cook and saved hours of soaking the bean in the water. Loose beans, however, can be bought in bulk and are easy to store as well.
Kidney beans are also very popular in South American food and are consumed as boiled with plenty of local species. In Pakistan and India, the beans are normally cooked in masala and flavoured with tamarind for taste.
Rajma is normally consumed at lunchtime as it takes time to digest. This recipe can also be used with a number of canned beans including Garbanzo beans or chickpeas.
