Rajma chawal is one of my favorites. I like it with chapatis and a raita to go with it.

I love all kinds of beans and Rajma is one of my favorite. I like it more with Rotis/Chapathis.

Thanks for this post. Rajma Chawal is my favourite vegetarian dish. When I was at boarding school, we were served rajma for lunch on alternate Tuesdays...I still remember this...Goes to show how eagerly I waited for those 2 days every month.
