A side dish of kidney beans is prepared with spices and then enjoyed with rice. How to serve Rajma (Kidney Bean Curry) Rajma is most commonly served with plain white rice (known as Rajma-Chawal in Hindi). You could also substitute white rice with brown rice if you prefer. Papad or poppadoms are also a popular accompaniment to Rajma but I won't tell if you cook up some roti or naan to scoop up those tender beans. The kidney beans soak in all the spices and it tastes divine if you eat it the next day for lunch, trust me on that!
