Jammu Style Rajma

Rajma is one of my all time favourite things to eat! I can eat it everyday (as long as it is well made of course) 🙂

So why has it taken me this long to post a rajma recipe here?

Except one. Parwal (pointed gourd) has somehow made it into my acceptable vegetables list, despite being a gourd. I think it’s because it used to be made fairly often at home and was made in just two ways – as a pan fry by itself or as a pan fry with potatoes 🙂 Potatoes make most things alright!
