Famous North Indian Rajma Recipe


Healthy and delicious rajma| Red beans curry. I came to know about dishes like rajma, dal makhani, dum aloo all after my marriage. In Kerala, we make curries with black chana, green peas, cow pea etc… As all beans are rich in protein and also good for health, I decided to try these north Indian curries.
