Red Kidney Beans Dark – Bold Rajma for Curries, Chilli & Rice

Red Kidney Beans Dark are large, deep red, kidney-shaped beans with a firm texture and bold, full-bodied flavour. Commonly known as Dark Red Kidney Beans, Rajma or Surkh Lobia, they are a versatile dried bean used across Indian, South Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Western cuisines.

Their firm structure allows them to hold their shape well when cooked, making dark red kidney beans particularly suited to slow-cooked curries, chilli, soups, stews and rice dishes. In North Indian cuisine, they are the key ingredient in Rajma Masala and the much-loved Rajma Chawal, where kidney beans are cooked in a richly spiced gravy and served with rice.
