Palak Rajma masala

Palak Rajma masala | Rajma palak curry recipe- Spinach and red kidney beans masala – North Indian sidedish for roti with full video and step-by-step pictures. No cream no cashew added palak rajma recipe.

Palak rajma masala is one of the recipes asked for by a follower of Jeyashris Kitchen on Instagram. This sounded so new to me and I wanted to try this out. I have tried palak paneer and even a dry version of chole palak. When I tried this last week, it turned out so amazing. The tadka part made it extra special and adds up more flavor to the masala.

This can be served with roti, naan, jeera rice, or any pulao too. We had this Palak rajma masala with veg pulao on a weekday night for dinner. My family enjoyed it very much. I can say this is one of the best ever palak-based gravy that I have made. You can replace rajma or red kidney beans with chickpeas or paneer too.
