Rajma Rasmisa

My hubby loves Rajma and one fine day he got Rajma from the super market. I did not want to make the Rajma curry that I normally prepare for him. I thought of trying something new... some North Indian Rajma curry. While browsing on net for recipes I came across this Rajma Rasmisa recipe. This recipe is another creation of the famous chef and television cookery show celebrity Sanjeev Kapoor. I liked the name "Rajma Rasmisa". It was something different. I went through the recipe and felt that it must be really tasty. And Yes, we liked the new Rajma curry that I cooked. It is very simple and very easy to cook.
