Rajma or Kidney beans are an excellent sauce of vegetable protein. Rajma masala is a popular dish of North India specially Punjab. In Punjab, Rajma is served with white rice. However, you can serve Rajma with naan, phulka or fried rice.
A few years back while I was in Delhi, I found that "Rajma chawal" (Rajma with rice) is almost everyone's favorite. Nevertheless, Rajma-chawal is also served with yogurt and this is a complete meal for them.
