Rajma (Kidney Beans Masla)

When I was carrying my kids I used to do this at least twice a week as it is rich in Iron. Sometime ago I brought the dhal which doesn’t get cooked even after soaking for 12 hours.. So till brought another batch I almost give up doing Rajma. This is my favourite Whole dhal. Just cook it or mix it with any salad or make gravy for Chapatti
