Rajma Masala curry is like the vegan Chilli minus the veggies and cheese. You can add Rajma masala that is available in stores, I have never used that. I use minimum spices in my Rajma Masala only garam masala and red chilli powder and only bay leaf and cinnamon stick, I feel the flavor of other spices overpower the taste of the real taste of this beans curry. It's a great weekend comfort food for us, after Dal -Chawal( check my Dal Tadkarecipe here).

My kids love just rajma rice mixed together, no side dish with it. My mom always makes Jeera Aloo/Aloo Methi or Baigan Ka Bharta with it as a side with Chapatis. Rajma Masala goes best with Steamed Rice and can equally be enjoyed with hot Phulkas/Rotis/Chapati or Naan bread(check my Whole Wheat Homemade Naan without yeast recipe here). Onion tomato masala with ginger and garlic is prepared with Indian spices and mixed with cooked beans. Soaked beans are then cooked in a pressure cooker to speed up the cooking process else these take a long time to cook. The beans have to be soaked in a water overnight or at least for 5-6 hrs, this speeds up the cooking process and also easily digested without any flatulence problem. Rajma Masala (as I have mentioned above) is Red Kidney Beans curry in onion tomato masala flavored with Indian spices. So here I am with my Rajma Masala recipe. Yesterday night while I was soaking Rajma/ Kidney beans for Sunday lunch, it struck me that though I make it every other weekend, why I didn't do any post on our family's favorite curry. This makes me remember an incident of few years back, when we visited our families in North India, wherever we went we were served Rajma curry along with few other dishes and my daughter who was around 7 yrs old that time said, why we everyone is has prepared Rajma for us.:) !! In my house also every alternate Sunday we have Rajma-Chawal for lunch with a glass of buttermilk. Guests are served with either Dal Makhani, Rajma or Chole or Dal Tadka as one of the main dish along with one Paneer dish, some dry veg especially Aloo Gobi Masala/Bhindi Masala along with some raita(yogurt dips) especially Boondi Raita. As I had mentioned in my Chole Masala post that every North Indian swears by Maa ke Haath ke Rajma-Chawal, Chole-Chawal or Kadhi Chawal. Rajma-Chawal, Chole-Chawal or Kadhi-Chawal one of these is made for weekend brunch/lunch in many North Indian households. Rajma Chawal as it is famously known since it is best enjoyed with Steamed Basmati Rice has been one of the Sunday lunch items in our family(both sides). Rajma Masala that is popularly known as a Punjabi dish is widely popular not only in Punjabi families but almost every North Indian family especially if you are from the states of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh or Haryana, being a non-Punjabi I can tell you for sure. Rajma Masala, a favorite North Indian curry made of Red Kidney beans in onion tomato masala(also known as Bhuna Masala) flavored with Indian spices.
