Jeera Rajma Recipe- Enjoy With Plain Butter Paratha [Pics]

Jeera Rajma is kind of a younger brother of Rasile Rajma. We call it younger because it is dry and we normally eat it in breakfast .
I know the theory sounds a bit weird but, it is what it is.
Rajma is pretty famous particularly in Punjabi cuisine. Everybody is at our home is also addicted to Rajma even though we are not punjabi.

Dry Jeera Rajma was simply an invention to make it taste a bit different than its curry Rajma and eat it in breakfast with butter parathas. We normally eat Rajma Chawal in our lunch and hence this dry ones provide a bit of different flavor.
