Chickpeas and Kidney beans are our favourite legumes and i cant survive without these both beans. Obviously my pantry will always have these both dry beans while my freezer will always have already soaked and frozen beans. I have already shared about how to make frozen beans in few of my posts. And those frozen beans are really handy if you dont have enough time to soak your beans or if you have completely forgotten to soak your beans. Just pressure cook those frozen beans and your beans are ready to cook with. You doesnt even need to thaw those beans. How easy na, i have been following this method since a while and i dont regret for preparing these frozen beans whenever time permits.
Coming to my today's post, this Masaledaar is one of the delicious side dish to serve along with some Indian flatbreads. Yes its quite easy to make and trust me one can enjoy this Aloo rajma sabji thoroughly as a spice mix used in this sabji will definitely tickle your tastebuds. Easy to make this sabji calls for some cooked cubed potatoes and cooked kidney beans, pureed tomatoes and a spice mix which is grounded freshly to bring the flavor. This curry is completely no onion no garlic to enjoy even with pulao. And this dish is going to be a part of this week's blogging marathon as am running with colourful dishes as theme.
3 Potatoes (cooked & cubed)
1cup Cooked rajma/kidney beans
1cup Tomato puree

Add enough water and cook everything in medium flame for few minutes.
Once the gravy gets bits thick, put off the stove.

Serve hot with Naans, rotis or phulkas.

I usually have a stock of frozen cooked chickpeas in my freezer. I never tried freezing soaked beans/chickpeas. This a cool idea. Rajma aloo masaledaar looks delicious.
Ah, so this was that gravy with the naan! Wow... love that gravy color, so tempting...
Yumm. Now I know what gravy I was ogling in the palak naan post :) Very interesting combining aloo and rajma.
Such a delicious and comforting curry with rajma and potato. My family would love this combo. Good one Priya.
Having frozen beans in the freezer always comes in handy. This masaledaar looks so good and yum.
Wonderful curry to serve with that flavourful naan. It looks absolutely inviting..
Loved the combination of Rajma and Aloo.. the curry looks delicious!!
Love the addition of potatoes which makes the curry drool worthy... good to pair with any Indian flat bread
the whole platter looks so colorful and inviting
Love this recipe with the tomato and kasuri methi in it! Will try it soon.
My family is not a big fan of Rajma, but the dish is tempting me to make it soon. Delicious curry
Combination of rajama and aloo great...Looking so delicious and yum...Just need some rotis to go!!
Rajma is a weekly affair at my place. I never add potatoes to it. But after seeing your post I am tempted to do this.
Potato and kidney beans combo sounds irresistible and delicious. This flavourful curry is what I need right now to have with chapathi.
Oh wow, I have never tried this combo of rajma and aloo. Most importantly, I loved the fact that this curry needs no onion and garlic. I'm sure this tastes great with some jeera rice. Yumm!!
Wow never tried Rajma Aloo. But looks and sounds very great. Loved the detailed post.. Rajma Aloo looks so inviting. Need some hot rotis or rice with this bowl and I am done. Yummm
I have only added aloo along with chana before and never with rajma. That is a great idea and so convenient. Love the flavors Priya!
Look at that color of the gravy, it looks gorgeous! Adding potato to rajma sounds great, a very hearty meal :)
Rajma and aloo combo sonds yummy. Never tried with aloo though. But I am sure it will taste great. Just need some hot rotis to finish it😊 Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! I do love teh bowl of rajma. The spice mix is what caught my attention. Will definitely try it.
Rajma and aloo is a lovely combo for a vegetarian meal, I love with garma garam paratha..and your gravy colour making me so hungry Priya :)
Love the combination of beans and aloo. The gravy looks so rich and delicious.
Healthy and flavorful curry, better when paired up with rice or rotis.
It's a good idea to have frozen beans in the freezer, saves the time when needed. The curry looks delicious and easy to make.
Fantastic combination Priya, this can never go wrong. Love the pairing of dishes and its always so helpful to have this on stock right..
