Authentic Punjabi Style Rajma Masala | Red Kidney Beans in Spicy Onion-Tomato Gravy
Born and grown up in a Punjabi family, I can only say that it is one fabulous dish which no Punjabi can live without; be it a casual holiday lunch, a fun family gathering or a formal festive dinner, Rajma Masala is a ' MUST ' on the table or else the menu is considered absolutely incomplete. With that being said, note that every household has its own version of this delectable delicacy, what I am going to share is the recipe I learnt from my mother over the years...not much of the fancy ingredients though, still with a whole lot of deliciousness in every bite. Do try it and don't forget to serve with a bowl full of plain/boiled rice and raita on the side which further makes it just an irresistible combination.
