Red Kidney Beans are not native to Nepal, but they are imported and used in various dishes in the country. In Nepal, they are commonly known as “Rajma” and are often used in traditional dishes like “Rajma Chawal” which is a popular rice and bean dish.
Red Kidney Beans are also used in other dishes like curries, stews, and salads. They are typically cooked with spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and can be served with rice or roti (a type of flatbread).
In Nepal, Red Kidney Beans are available in many grocery stores and markets, and are also used in the preparation of some snacks like samosas and momos. Despite their popularity, it is important to note that like with any other dried beans, they need to be properly soaked and cooked before consumption to avoid any digestive issues.
