This Indian pulse curry is mild in spices, has a buttery taste and is a vegan and allergy friendly alternative to fill your Indian curry cravings. Rajma and steamed rice make for a winning combination and is considered as soul food by many (I am one of those!). The warmth of the dish will lift your spirits high on any gloomy day. While rice is recommended, you can also enjoy it with chapatis and naan.
