Rajma Masala, also known as kidney bean masala, is a popular North Indian dish made with kidney beans cooked in a flavorful and aromatic tomato-based gravy. This dish is a staple in many Indian households and is often enjoyed with rice or Indian bread such as roti or naan. The key ingredient in Rajma Masala is rajma, or kidney beans, which are simmered in a rich gravy infused with a blend of spices. The preparation of Rajma Masala typically begins with soaking dried kidney beans overnight and then cooking them until tender. Meanwhile, a tomato-based gravy is prepared by sautéing onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic along with a blend of spices. Common spices used in Rajma Masala include cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and sometimes kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for added flavor.
