Rajma Masala Recipe Card
This one is undoubtedly my personal favourite comfort food, especially when my mother makes it. Red kidney beans soaked overnight and cooked in an onion tomato masala and a plethora of classic Indian spices till soft and mushy. While very few things can beat the fabulousness of rajma chawal, that is, the delicious rajma masala preparation with steamed rice, even rotis and breads do complete justice to this vegetarian Indian recipe. Make sure the kidney beans are well cooked though, to avoid any kind of feeling of flatulence later.
