Ready in 90 seconds. Deeply satisfying kidney beans meld with carrot and tangy tamarind to create a hearty vegetarian meal. Inspired by Rajma, a North Indian favorite, I add a pinch of allspice for a sweet-spicy aroma. Dal is the Indian term for beans simmered with spices to make a thick stew. These cooked dals are a staple across India, and each region infuses them with its own flavorful traditions. Keep our favorite versions on hand for those times you want a plant-based meal without a fuss. I bring a fresh perspective to my delicious heritage, inviting you to experience the beautiful complexity of Indian food and share it with the people you love. - Мaya Kaimal.
