Rajma-chawal is an emotion. The quintessential food combination has the power to lift your spirits after a boring at work. A portion of rajma chawal served with aam ka achaar (mango pickle) and sirke wala pyaaz (onion soaked in vinegar) is the ultimate comfort food for most of us. Well, not just us, celebrities including Mira Rajput too loves to relish it on weekends. Wondering, why are we talking about it rajma chawal today? A foodie has raised questions about the reputation of the meal. Sharing his opinion on X (formerly known as Twitter), the person wrote, “Rajma Chawal is the worst cuisine combination ever and most overrated too.” Along with the note, he attached a picture of the richly textured kidney beans gravy served with plain white rice. It was garnished with sliced onions and a lemon slice. We have to admit, when topped with fresh coriander leaves, the dish indeed looked appetizing.

A user pointed out that Rajma Chawal tastes better when “cooked in a more homely way” unlike “the way ‘fancy' restaurants cook it.”
Problem is Rajma chawal is that it is not supposed to be cooked in the way "fancy" restaurants cook it. It should be cooked in a more homely way. https://t.co/PIGHpIGcqK
