Rajma Chawal is my go-to dish. One of my favorites!!! Rajma chawal, no meal can be more satiating, for sure. This famous combination of rajma chawal is a complete one meal with healthy protein.

Rajma Chawal is an authentic Punjabi dish made with onions, tomatoes, and various spices.

And yes, remember to cook rajma fully as raw or improperly cooked kidney beans are toxic, but well-prepared beans can be a healthy component of a well-balanced diet!

Kidney beans or Rajma are mainly composed of carbs and fiber but also serve as a good source of protein.
