Rajma or Red Kidney Beans is a protein filled legume besides having numerous minerals.Usually we make Rajma Chawal or Pulao or any gravy.This is one easy and non fussy sundal variety apt for Navarathri and will be a hit among kids as well.My daughter is very fond of rajma and I made this on the first day of Navarathri itself.You can spice it with any masala and make a lot of variations.Rajma is known to have so much health benefits and it is good to make sundal for this season,where most would be fasting.Here goes the recipe of Rajma Sundal..
