Bored of eating the same usual meals at home? Spice them up with the Indian style kidney bean and rice burrito or the rajma rice burrito.
The burrito is a Mexican dish that consists of a tortilla wrap usually filled with a savoury filling, made mostly of meat and rice or beans and rice. On the other hand, rajma rice is a favourite of most North Indians and is cooked using kidney beans, onions, tomatoes,ginger, garlic, rice and some spices.
This recipe is an Indian version of the Mexican burrito, in the sense that it uses mostly Indian ingredients.

This is a very easy and quick recipe for those days when you don’t have the mood to cook anything from scratch or want to plate up something interesting for a mid-day snack!
An absolutely healthy option, this Indian style rajma rice burriito is so yummy that it will definitely make your family yearn for it, every time you make rajma rice!!
