Oil Free Rajma - wholesome & healthy

8 hours

Rajma cooked in traditional Indian style in an oil-free version tastes exactly the same as the usual oil waala version! Yes, you have to try it to know it. This is now a regular at our homes, and no one can tell the difference that there is no oil in the recipe. Refined oil, an invention of modern times, is not a must from nature’s point of view. Our bodies absorb oils and fats from natural whole sources such as oilseeds and nut. We hope this recipe will encourage you to try oil-free versions in daily cooking.

Its amazing, that when I made it home, no one could make out that the Rajma is oil free! It just tasted as usual - and so much lighter on tummy
