I sport a special corner for red kidney beans and it didn’t take much time to spread this love among my kids too. After all, it’s hard to turn your face away from drool-worthy sight of the red kidney-shaped darlings, swimming in spicy gravy – it’s the ultimate gastronomic satisfaction trapped in a bowl!

I always have an inclination to cook food which takes less time to prepare yet never disappoint when it comes to flavors. And what could be more hassle-free then cooking rajma curry for my family in a pressure cooker when I am running short of time. However, in spite of being appetizing, the pressure cooker version of this dish really can’t compete with the flavors of the mushier one cooked on the hob. The aromatic gravy of tomatoes and onions, jazzed up with the Indian exotic spices will knock you out with its soaring yum quotient. And, the slow-cooking over the stove-top allows the zesty flavors to seep into the red kidney beans, thus turning every spoonful into a flavorsome fest. No wonder, a simple dish from North India has taken the entire country by storm and won hearts of many.

So let’s not keep you waiting anymore and introduce you to my simple yet great recipe of rajma curry with you all!
