RAJMA CHAWAL

Description

A staple comfort food in North Indian homes, Rajma Chawal is a hearty and flavorful dish loved across Delhi, Punjab, Jammu, and Uttar Pradesh. The rajma (red kidney beans) are slow-cooked in a thick, aromatic gravy made with tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and a blend of warming spices like cumin, garam masala, and kasuri methi. This rich, velvety curry is paired with fluffy, steamed basmati rice, creating a deliciously satisfying combination.

Often served with a dollop of butter, a side of pickles, sliced onions, and cooling raita, Rajma Chawal is a soul-satisfying meal that brings warmth and nostalgia. Whether enjoyed at home, in roadside dhabas, or restaurants, this dish is a must-try for those who love authentic, homestyle Indian flavors.
