Rajma (or kidney beans) curry has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Our mom used to and still makes it every Sunday for lunch. It’s almost like a vegetarian chilli. Rajma with chawal (rice) is the ultimate comfort food for me. There must be something about this combination of beans and rice that makes it so popular all over the world, although the flavorings are a little different everywhere. Red beans and rice is a traditional Monday dinner dish in Louisiana Creole cuisine. Cubans have something called Platillo Moros y Cristianos, which is a combination of rice and black beans. Koreans make Kongbap, but apparently it’s not very popular since it has long been a staple of Korean prison food! Countries in Latin America, Central America, the Caribbean, West Africa all have their own versions. Here’s mine! <br />
