Rajma (Dark) — Dark Red Kidney Beans | 4 lb, 8 lb & 55 lb
Dark Rajma (dark red kidney beans) are a beloved staple in North Indian and Punjabi cooking. Large, deep burgundy-red beans with a firm skin and creamy, hearty interior when cooked, they are the star ingredient in the iconic rajma chawal — one of the most comforting and satisfying dishes in the cuisine. Available in retail and bulk sizes.
Culinary Uses:
- Rajma chawal — the classic North Indian kidney bean curry served over steamed rice
- Punjabi rajma masala — slow-cooked with tomato, onion, and whole spices
- Bean soups and stews
- Salads and grain bowls
- Wraps, tacos, and fusion dishes
- Mixed bean chili and slow-cooker preparations
Flavour Profile: Earthy, hearty, and slightly sweet. Firm skin holds its shape well during cooking while the interior becomes creamy and dense. Absorbs spices and gravy beautifully — best when slow-cooked or pressure-cooked.
How to Use: Soak overnight in cold water (8–12 hours), drain, and boil thoroughly until completely tender before use. Do not consume undercooked kidney beans.
