Ah! That smell it reminds me good old days in Delhi. Rajma Chawal, Chole Chawal. Kulcha these are daily meal for many office goers.
I mostly prefer Chole Chawal rather than Rajma.
Anyway let’s enjoy the North Indian cuisine.

Rajma chawal is a popular and delicious vegetarian dish from
North India, specifically from the state of Punjab. It consists of two main
components: rajma, which is red kidney bean curry, and chawal, which refers to
steamed basmati rice. It is a hearty and comforting meal that is enjoyed by
people of all ages.
To prepare rajma chawal, red kidney beans are soaked
overnight and then cooked until tender. They are typically simmered in a
flavorful tomato-based gravy, which includes spices such as cumin, coriander,
turmeric, and garam masala. This curry is rich, slightly spicy, and aromatic.
The cooked rajma curry is usually served alongside steamed
basmati rice. The rice is cooked separately, typically using the absorption
method, where it is rinsed, soaked briefly, and then cooked with water until
the grains are fluffy and separate.
Rajma chawal is often garnished with freshly chopped
coriander leaves and served with accompaniments such as raita (a yogurt-based
side dish), papad (thin and crispy lentil crackers), and pickles. It is a
wholesome and satisfying meal that offers a balance of protein, carbohydrates,
and flavors.
In addition to its delicious taste, rajma chawal is also a
nutritious dish. Red kidney beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein
and fiber, while the basmati rice provides energy and essential nutrients. The
combination of rajma and rice also forms a complete protein when consumed
together.
Rajma chawal is a popular dish in Indian cuisine and is
enjoyed both at home and in restaurants. It is a comfort food that is cherished
by many, and its flavors and textures make it a delightful meal option for
vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
