Rajma Curry

Hai Guys...Just now posted the ShortBread Cookie recipe that I made for the contest by Women’s Web...This is a recipe is taken not from a actual cookbook,it is from a small book that comes with a magazine named as “Aval Vikadan”..Each issue has a small book that consist of 30 recipes of the same theme(like 30 dosas or 30 idlis)..I modified this recipe from that mini cookbook...I served this dish with flaky paratha... I send this recipe to Blogging Marathan-Day 5 with the theme “Cooking from Cookbook”. Go ahead and make this dish and tell me how it turned out..
