Rajma Chawal !!

Here comes my family's favorite delicious and nutritious Rajma Chawal  !!! 

Rajma Chawal – Indian curried kidney beans & rice – is a delicious, simple Indian comfort food, popular especially in Northern parts of India as well as Nepal.  Rajma (Kidney beans curry) can be eaten with roti, paratha, bread, etc. but it pairs the best with Rice.  I have made a Brown Rice with Rajma you can use any white rice .. it tastes heavenly delicious.

This is a very easy, and simple Vegetarian recipe, which is also Vegan, Gluten-free.

This Rajma Curry is very flavorful, nutritious, and versatile – it goes well with a flat-bread, rice, or just by itself. 

Rajma is also known as Red Kidney Beans. They are a rich source of fiber and protein. They serve as a great source of protein in a vegetarian dish.
