Rajmah is
red kidney beans. Rajmah beans are found not only already cooked
and canned here in the US but also in the dried form in many
Indian grocery stores. If you are worried about preservatives
and salt content, soak the dried Rajmah beans overnight. They
will plump up and be ready to cook. This Punjabi dish is a very
common staple in the north of India and is eaten with plain
rice. Rajmah chawaal!
Rajmah
curry is a very simple yet flavorful dish. I love making it on a
day when I am out of ideas as it is very easy to make in a
jiffy.
Curries
are what made Indian cuisine famous all over the world. To most
people "curry" is simply a thick creamy yellow sauce.
Curries could perhaps be more accurately described as the
intricate combination of various spices and seasonings with
which meat, poultry, vegetables or fish is prepared in a variety
of ways to produce a "stew type" dish. This mildly
flavored curry is a great introduction to curries.
