Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze cooked rajma chitra? Yes — cooked rajma freezes well for up to 3 months. Portion and freeze in the cooking liquid for best flavor retention.

Is rajma chitra more nutritious than red kidney beans? Both are similarly nutritious. Rajma chitra's thinner skin may make it slightly more digestible, though nutritional profiles are comparable.

How much dry rajma do I need per serving? A quarter cup (about 50g) of dry rajma per person is standard — it roughly triples in volume after soaking and cooking.
