These red kidney beans or Rajma as they are better know are grown by farmers using Himalayan stream water away from the vehicular and industrial pollution.
As per wikipedia :
Rājmā or Rāzmā is a popular vegetarian dish, originating from the Indian subcontinent, consisting of red kidney beans in a thick gravy with many Indian whole spices and usually served with rice. Although the kidney bean is not of South Asian origin, it is a part of regular diet in Northern India and Nepal. The dish developed after the red kidney bean was brought to the Indian subcontinent from Mexico. A 100 gram serving of boiled Rajma beans contain about 140 calories, 5.7 grams of protein, 5.9 grams of fat and 18 grams of carbohydrate. Rajma chawal, i.e. Rajma served with boiled rice, is a popular dish throughout northern India and Nepal.
Some of the best Rajma is said to be grown in the Nepal hills, north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh and the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir. Rajma chawal served with chutney of Anardana is the famous dish of Peerah, a town in Ramban district of Jammu. Going further, the Rajma of Chinta Valley in Doda district, a short distance from the town of Bhaderwah of Jammu province are said to be amongst the most popular. These are smaller in size than most Rajma grown in plains and have a slightly sweetish taste.
The combination of Rajma and rice generally lists as a top favorite of North Indians and Nepalis. Rajma is prepared with onion, garlic and many spices in India, and it is one of the staple foods in Nepal.
Rajma Masala is a very popular dish in the Northern states of India. The Punjabi way of cooking Rajma Masala is to soak it overnight in water, boil it using a pressure cooker and mix bhuna masala made with chopped onions, pureed tomato, ginger, garlic and milieu of fresh spices including cumin, coriander and chilli powder.

My ever favourite, this has now because a family favourite. The taste is just so much so better than what you get from the market
More than me my Mom was happy about the quality of the product! And when your mom says “Yeh accha hai” you better not doubt it!! She made me order Dal from the range . She loves the quality and texture which comes out in the final dish! Thank you Masala Monk 🙂
I am a big fan of what Masala Monk is doing and would really like to see them grow, expand their product portfolio. These red kidney beans are definitely not worthy of masla monk backing as these are plain, bland and lack any kind of flavour. I am a big fan of rajma coming from Himalayan belt and not even comparing these to the best of the best this region has to offer. These should be replaced with some variety that packs a flavouful punch.
