Today’s recipe is stir fried kidney beans ot rajma. Rajma rules the kitchen in every North Indians home. But other than that people everywhere also consume kidney beans due to the health benefits it provides. They are rich in protein. Consumption of rajma strengthens the immune system, lowers blood cholesterol, prevents diabetes, prevents hypertension and aids weight loss.
Simply soak the rajma overnight or for 8 hours. After 8 hours, pressure cook it and either make a delicious stir fry or make our favorite Rajma rasmisa. You can even make a salad out of it and consume it for breakfast. Check this chatpata rajma wrap recipe where I have stuffed this same stir fry into a chapatti and made a wrap.
You can pack this stir fried rajma in your lunch box and have it with rotis or as a side with jeera rice and dal.
