#dals - All the Rajma (Kidney Beans) lovers, how about pairing it with some keema / mince (either chicken or mutton) for a non-veg. version? It turns out real yummy, with full of flavours and a blend of various spices. I also added some almond paste for a little bit of richness.

You can relish with hot steamed rice, plain biryani, jeera rice, pulao, naan, tandoori roti, paratha, poori or just plain chapatti. It also goes well with appam or dosa. Rajma or kidney beans is very popular in the Northern regions of India, especially Punjab, and is a favorite menu in all restaurants and dhabas across the country and worldwide. So a slight twist here and there will take your usual dish to a next level.

Rajma is extremely healthy as it contains proteins, fibre, helps in lowering cholesterol, is good for diabetics and prevents hypertension. So go ahead and try out this amazing dish by adding some chicken or mutton keema for a change. Trust me, it turns out super yummy. I like relishing it with hot steamed rice and a dash of lime.
