Rajma
Ask a North Indian how they feel about Rajma and they will speak of eternal love for the dish. It is the soul food for every Indian living in the Northern part. But no, Rajma, aka kidney beans, is not Indian food. This dish originates from Mexico. While the Portuguese introduced this pulse to India, the technique of soaking and boiling the kidney beans was taken from the Mexicans for whom it is a staple diet. However, the Indian Rajma is very different in taste from the Mexican version.
