Punjabi rajma Chawal
Rajma chawal takes me back to my childhood days.Well the name is Punjabi rajma chawal,and you’ll must be wondering this dish is made with rice.No friends,this dish is named so because Punjabi rajma masala is served with the rice.This is a popular dish of Punjab.The name says it all.I first tasted this dish at my friends aunts place and somehow managed to get the recipe and passed the recipe to my Amma.But I wasn’t aware the dish is served with rice since I had tasted it with chapathi… Since then Amma has been preparing it specially for my sake.I used to relish it with roasted bread and chapati often.Then one fine day I came to know it goes well with rice and it is a Punjabi delicacy,since then I’m relishing it till today’s date.This curry goes well with jeera rice or Basmathi rice.I love garam masala gravies in any form.Do you ?
