Rajma, also known as kidney bean, is a popular dish of Northern India. It is usually paired with rice. Rajma/kidney bean boasts of its high fiber content and complex carbohydrate which aid in lowering cholesterol level. It is a low fat, high fiber food and also has low glycemic index, so it is quite good for people trying to lose weight. It is also highly rich in antioxidants, important for boosting immunity. Benefits of eating rajma/kidney bean do not end here. It is also a wonderful source of lean protein and many other vitamins and minerals like vitamin B1, manganese, potassium and magnesium etc.
I have used soaked and boiled rajma to prepare these scrumptious kebabs. Rajma paste has been seasoned with various powdered spices to give it a delicious spicy flavor. These kebabs are very soft and just melt in mouth. I have pan- fried these kebabs with ghee/oil. Ghee gives it a nice aroma and enhances its taste. Rajma galouti kebabs are so flavorful that you will not feel the need to eat any dip/chutney. We relished it with simply a cup of hot ginger-tea.
