RAJMA SUNDAL RECIPE – NAVRATRI RECIPES

rajma copy
I tried rajma sundal for the first time. I have tried rajma masala for roti very long back. As rajma tastes very bland without any smell, usually i add more spices to add flavor to the dish ..So i tried this sundal adding freshly ground masala..Last year i posted masala sundal with green gram. I tried this sundal almost in the same way with slight variations. It smelt and tasted yum.We enjoyed a lot..Try this healthy sundal for this navratri and mail me ur feedback..
