Punjabi Rajma in Kolhapuri Gravy is unheard of. But then that&rsquo;s what I actually churned out in my kitchen.<br /> Punjabis and Rajma<br /> What can make a Punjabi break into dance? A plateful of Rajma-Chawal would do the trick. Above all, a Punjabi can live without bhangra but not without platefuls of Rajma Chawal. It is our staple food.&nbsp; Of course, Rajma Chawal is definitely nutritious and delicious. Indeed,&nbsp; we grew up with the aromas of Rajma emanating from the kitchen every other day.&nbsp; Above all, these Red kidney beans are irresistible; with a classic thick gravy in the centre of a plate full of steamed rice<br /> Rajma and Mexico<br /> A fun fact I have learnt recently; that the dish rajma came about after the red kidney bean was brought to India from Mexico. And coincidentally, my daughter-in-law is a Mexican!!&nbsp; &ldquo;Punjabi Rajma&rdquo; curry is a popular recipe from Northern India. Traditionally made with ginger-garlic, onion, juicy tomatoes and melange of masalas. Finally, boiled kidney beans are submerged in this. Usually, it is eaten with rice and does not need any other accompaniment as it is a full meal in itself.<br /> Kolhapuri Rajma<br /> There is magic about Rajma Chawal or red kidney beans tempered with loads of spices amalgamated expertly. To be exact, this is the traditional Rajma I know of. But today I have cooked Rajma in Kolhapur style which is blasphemous,&nbsp; isn&rsquo;t it? But then when I, as a Punjabi dished it out and relished it, it was magical indeed. Fusion food of different cuisines and different cultures blended so well. An outstanding meal of epic taste and flavours was created. Kolhapuri cuisine is bold and spicy. Rajma in Kolhapuri masala is a very aromatic dish. It heavily speaks the flavours from this southwestern part of India &ndash; Kolhapur. Certainly vibrant and rich Punjab colludes with Kolhapur. Rajma in Kolhapuri masala is like history being created. Moreover, Kolhapuri masala is a mixture of dry spices with red chillies and dry coconut.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;
