A post by my  sweet friend/inspiration, Shimpa Rathore, she always posts new dishes from the hills and valleys o of India. They are so inspiring and the pictures are so tempting that you feel like jumping on to the plate and just tasting what is in it!! I felt like all my friends should have the recipe of this dish which is from the pundits of Himachal and Kashmir. Aloo Rajma with no onion garlic. Served with soft piping hot white rice. Here goes the recipe followed to the T.......
