EASY RAJMA Or RED KIDNEY BEANS Or VANPAYAR RECIPE

EASY  RAJMA Or RED KIDNEY BEANS Or VANPAYAR  RECIPE: This is my style red kidney beans curry. It is very easy one. I have always been a fan of rajma recipe. I fell in love with this curry while having food at the North Indian restaurants.

Did you know that red kidney beans can prevent blood sugars from sudden hiking after a meal like cinnamon. It also has cholesterol lowering capacity like other beans.  They also have high fiber content. Apart from all this it is also high in proteins and helps replenish the iron in your body especially for women.

However just like they say even amrit in high amounts is bad for you, consuming high amounts of red kidney beans might lead to diarrohea, blood clotting and so on....so check on your amount. After all, a healthy and well balanced diet is what matters...
So, moving on to the recipe:




INGREDIENTS:

Rajma or Red Kidney Beans – ½ cup soaked or canned
Tomato – 1 to 1½
Red Onion – 1 small
Curry leaves – a sprig
Chilli Powder - ¼ tablespoon
Turmeric Powder – a pinch
Garam Masala Powder – 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil – 1 tablespoon


METHOD:

Soak the red kidney beans overnight preferably.  Take a pressure cooker and add all the ingredients and cook on low flame till done.
Since I soaked it only for around 4 hours I had to increase the time of cooking. I cooked for around 6 to 7 whistles.
Yup! You are done!!! Is that not easy????
