RAJMA CHAWAL

Very common preparation, we heard this name frequently.
Rjama chawal, yesterday it was my dinner.
Yesterday when i was having chat with my friend, she asked me what you had in dinner, when i told her Rajma chawal she asked me how to prepare it.
So i thought lets write about it.
It is one of the very very easy dish which any one can prepare. What we have to do is to prepare rice n keep aside, prepare rajama n mix it with the rice n rajma rice is ready to eat. This preparation doesn't require onion, tomato, ginger & garlic. I like it this way only, but we can prepare it with all these ingredients also.....
This preparation is ideal for person who doesn't eat root....

Rajma (Kidney beans) soaked for 6-7 hrs
