KIDNEY BEANS CURRY / RAJMA CURRY

Kidney beans has a lot of beneficial effects on our body. I just did a mini study to find it out from wikipedia.I thought of sharing the same with all.Kidney beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, kidney beans high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.  

I had come across this recipe in the indianfoodforever site..punjabi cuisine,Kidney beans curry is an excellent combo with steamed rice or chapatis.Its got a different taste as compared to other beans.This requires a soaking time of 1 hour only.My younger one likes to eat it plain as soon as its pressure cooked (just like peanuts).You can prepare the gravy as its for chick peas curry.
