You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.

What is a comfort food? Comfort food for me means a food
which simply provides you comfort lights up your memories with just its warmth
and aroma.
Sometimes I think that comfort food is termed so, because it
works as a salve for our souls in ways that go beyond taste of the food alone,
they make us happy.
Rajma-Chawal (rice) is a dish which is true delight for every
vegetarian North Indian . Red kidney beans ( rajma ) are cooked into a thick creamy curry and served over steamed rice spell total delight. Mention the word Rajma-Chawal in front of me and see my
face light up

During my years of growing up me and my yonger sister always
used to look forward to Sundays, because Rajma chawal would be the highlight of
the lunch.

Love this dish so much I will leave most exotic dishes aside
and pick rajma and chawal combo any day. Rajma
Chawal is an Indian comfort food that is so much popular and loved
in India as
macaroni and cheese is in America.

This Kidney beans curry is so versatile that you can use any combination
of spices and it comes out perfect. You cook it Punjabi style, Kashmiri style
or any other way, its always yummy, You wont believe in the southern part of
India I ate Rajma cooked in coconut gravy and that was also like…perfect !!.

In Punjabi style, rajma is cooked to a creamy consistency
with masala paste of ginger, onion, tomatoes and a mix of species. Kashmiri’s generally
omit onions and use asafoetida which provides it a characteristic aroma and
taste.

Simple yet exotic, wonderfully flavourful, so comforting
that you would be reminiscing about it, long after you have tasted it.

Super inviting rajma masala,inviting.
I always make extra masala and freeze it. Later it saves me on a lot of time whenever I cook rajma…cause then all I have to do is boil rajma, add paste, water and let it simmer on low heat. That said, nothing can really beat the taste of freshly made food. Nice recipe- thanks for sharing!
