Rajma pulao recipe | How to make Rajma pulao | Rajma pulao in pressure cooker
Rajma cares when you're bored of eating veggies all the time! Lol, It's is a great recipe to have on a busy weekday lunch, a handful of pantry makes a complete delicious meal. It has protein, carbs, and of course loads of flavors. A simple yet extremely flavourful one-pot rice dish made with Red kidney beans or rajma.
You need to soak and pressure cook the rajma beans before using and remember to reserve the rajma stock to use later in pulao. If you're one of those high-spice eaters feel free to add more green chilies. Serve this flavourful pulao with any raita of choice, cucumber raita is my favorite!
