Rajma (Kidney Bean Curry) & Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen

Today I spent most of the day running errands before the snow storm hit, cleaning, and cooking. 

As many of you know I have been trying to do more foods that are inspired from different parts of the world.  Today one of the dishes I made was Rajma which is a Kidney Bean Curry.

After doing a little research of the origins of Rajma I found that not only is it popular in South Asia, Northern India, but also, Nepal.

This photo doesn't do the dish much justice but I think it came out pretty tasty!  To my knowledge this is the first time I have tried this dish.  It was perfect timing, too, because I had some tomatoes I needed to hurry up and use.


The recipe I used was from Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen.  This is another new book to my collection.  it's been on my wishlist for a long time!  I'm so happy I finally have it in my hands!  I know I will be referring to this book a lot!

Not only did I make the Rajma Recipe in this book today - I also did the Dal Bukhara - which is a Black Gram Lentils in Tomato Sauce type dish.  I will share that one with you another day!

I also have to recap Friday's nights festivities so I will probably do that in tomorrow's post!

What did you do this weekend!?  Which of Richa's Recipes are your favorites?

    I so love Indian. The taste and fragrance of the spices and herbs used, simply out of this world!

    I love Indian food and I bet I would happily tuck into your Kidney Bean Curry. I would even ask for seconds :)

    I love that book! My favourite is the Weekday Baingan Bharta - Mashed Spiced Eggplant! I love it so much that I usually make two recipes from the book at once - one that is kid-friendly (or you add the spices at the end so I can grab a portion for the kids before I make it too spicy) and the eggplant one!

    I've been debating about making this recipe. I guess I should bite the bullet and just make it already! XD
