Bhaderwah rajma is a renowned variety of kidney bean native to the Bhaderwah region
in Jammu and Kashmir. Known for its unique flavor and texture, it has become a staple
in regional cuisine. The beans are typically smaller and darker than other rajma
varieties, with a rich, earthy taste that sets them apart. Traditionally, they are
slow-cooked to achieve a creamy consistency, often spiced with local herbs and seasonings.
Bhaderwah rajma is not just a culinary delight but also holds cultural significance,
being a key ingredient in festive dishes. It is prized for its nutritional benefits,
including high protein and fiber content. The beans are cultivated in the high-altitude
areas of Bhaderwah, which contributes to their distinct taste. This variety has
gained popularity beyond its local region, appreciated by food enthusiasts for its
exceptional quality. Incorporating Bhaderwah rajma into recipes adds a touch of
authentic regional flavor to any meal.
