Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked Rajma (kidney beans)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Whole wheat tortillas or wraps
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
• Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rajma:

• If you’re using canned kidney beans, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using dried kidney beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili (if using). Sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
• Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn mushy.
• Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
• Add the cooked kidney beans (Rajma) and mix until everything is well combined. Cook for 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Mash some of the beans lightly with the back of a spoon to thicken the mixture.
• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

1. Assemble the Wrap:

• Warm the whole wheat tortillas or wraps on a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
• Spoon some of the prepared Rajma mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
• Optionally, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top of the Rajma mixture.
• Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center and then roll it up tightly, enclosing the filling.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

1. Serve:

• Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
• You can serve these wraps with a side of salad or a yogurt-based dip for added freshness.

Enjoy your protein-rich Rajma wraps! They’re not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
