A very tasty spicy and tangy and colourful. one pot meal. It can be made in 2 ways one from left over rice and the other way by cooking along with the rice. It is mainly a vegetarian dish, but can use chickenstock also for cooking the rice. But I have used plain water.

Steps

1

First pre soak the rice and boil the rajma soaked over nite. Cut all the vegetables.

Now add the finely chopped garlic and onion saute it for 2-3 min.

Now add water to it(double the quantity of rice). Add parsley. Now cover and let it cook. 2-3 whistle. Serve it hot with an egg(this is optional)
