Rajma Chawal (Red Kidney Bean Curry with Rice)
This North Indian home-style dish is a traditional favorite in Punjab and Delhi. The tomato-onion gravy is rich and spicy, the slow-simmered kidney beans become soft and flavorful, and mixed with hot rice it's warm and filling. Beans are rich in protein, dietary fiber and trace minerals, making for a balanced meal. It's simple and beginner-friendly, taking about 40 minutes of cooking, though the dried beans need to soak 8 hours in advance. A rich, homey flavor that tastes like mom's cooking.
