rajma chawal

Description

Rajma Chawal is a famous North Indian comfort food, consisting of red kidney beans (rajma) cooked in a thick and flavorful tomato-onion gravy, served alongside steaming white rice. Originating from Punjab and now beloved across northern India, this wholesome vegetarian dish is celebrated for its hearty taste, aromatic spices, and satisfying combination of protein-rich beans and carbohydrate-rich rice. The base of rajma masala includes onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and dried fenugreek leaves, slowly simmered to let flavors meld beautifully. Rajma Chawal is perfect for lunch or dinner, and often enjoyed with a side of yogurt or chutney for a delightful meal.
