Rajma Bake
Added: 7th Mar, 2006 | Viewed 403 times | |
'Rajma' is the Indian term for Red Kidney Beans. The Rajma Curry' is a very popular North Indian dish and a favourite at our house as well. The soaking and softening of the beans takes a considerable amount of time. You can use store bought cans of red kidney beans for a quicker alternative. Here is a western take on the traditional 'Rajma Chawal'.
