Whole Dried Rajma for Rich Kidney Bean Curry and Warming Chilli

Natco Red Kidney Beans - 500g are whole dried red kidney beans, commonly known as rajma. Their gently earthy flavour and creamy centre when fully cooked suit rich onion-and-tomato curries, warming chilli and substantial bean soups. This 500g pack is a practical smaller-pack option for cooking from scratch or trying a new bean recipe. These are uncooked dried beans, not canned or ready-to-eat kidney beans, and require preparation and thorough cooking before serving.

Why Choose Natco Red Kidney Beans?

Preparing rajma from dried lets you measure out the quantity you need and choose the seasoning for your dish. Fully cooked kidney beans bring a substantial texture to spiced gravies and pair well with ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander. Mash a few cooked beans into your masala for a thicker sauce, or keep them whole for chunky chilli and soups. The 500g pack gives you flexibility to use the beans across different recipes without opening a larger bag.

Prepare and cook the dried kidney beans according to the current pack instructions. Never eat raw or undercooked kidney beans, and do not cook them from dry in a slow cooker. For a slow-cooker recipe, use beans that have first been safely cooked according to the packet directions.

Serving Suggestions

  • Simmer fully cooked beans in an onion-and-tomato masala with ginger, cumin and garam masala for rajma curry.
  • Serve the finished curry with steamed basmati rice and fresh coriander for rajma chawal.
  • Add fully cooked kidney beans to a tomato-based chilli with peppers, garlic and your preferred spices.
  • Stir cooked beans into vegetable soup or a thick tomato stew for a creamy bite and substantial texture.
  • Cool thoroughly cooked beans and toss with cucumber, tomato, onion and a lemon dressing for a bean salad.
