Desi Kitchen Kashmiri Rajma 3.5 lb are premium dried Kashmiri kidney beans — the prized small, dark red variety celebrated for their thin skin, intense flavor and creamy texture when slow-cooked. The authentic base for the beloved Kashmiri and Punjabi rajma curry. Available at Anora's Cash N Carry in Los Angeles.

Why Kashmiri Rajma Is Different

• Genuine Kashmiri variety — small, dark red beans with thin skin and creamy texture
• More flavorful and tender than standard red kidney beans
• 3.5 lb family-size pack for regular rajma chawal enjoyment
• High in plant protein, folate and dietary fiber

How to Use

Soak overnight for 10–12 hours. Drain and pressure cook with fresh water for 6–7 whistles until very soft. Prepare a deeply flavored rajma curry with slow-cooked onion-tomato gravy, whole spices and garam masala. Kashmiri rajma is exceptional when slow-cooked — simmer the cooked beans in the gravy for at least 20–30 minutes for the best flavor. Serve with steamed basmati rice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Kashmiri rajma different from regular rajma? Kashmiri rajma is smaller, darker, has a thinner skin and a distinctly richer, earthier flavor. It absorbs spices more deeply and cooks to a silkier texture.

Can I use Kashmiri rajma for Mexican-style dishes? Yes — its rich flavor makes it a wonderful substitute in burritos, tacos and chili recipes calling for kidney beans.

How many servings does 3.5 lb of rajma provide? Approximately 20–25 servings of cooked rajma curry, as the beans roughly triple in volume when cooked.
