About Rajma

Rajma, commonly known as red kidney beans, is a popular dish in Indian cuisine, particularly in North India. This hearty and protein-rich legume is typically simmered in a spiced tomato-based curry and paired with rice, creating the classic "Rajma-Chawal" combination. Rajma is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients, including folate, iron, and potassium, which support heart health and digestion. Low in fat and calories, it fits well into balanced diets when prepared healthily. However, traditional recipes often include generous amounts of oil and cream, which can increase calorie content. Opting for lighter preparation methods can maximize its nutritional benefits. Rajma is also rich in antioxidants, aiding in overall cellular health. Its origin stems from Mexican and Central American cuisines, but it has become a staple in Indian households due to its versatility and hearty flavor.
