Rajma Masala/Kidney beans Masala

Rajma Masala/ Kidney beans Masala

Kidney beans in hindi are called Rajma. In  India we have 3 types of Kidney beans. Red rajma, Jammu rajma and Chitra rajma. All three are different in taste. In Malaysia only red rajma is available so I am using red rajma here. Recipe for all types of rajma is same.
