Description
White rajma, often called white kidney beans or cannellini beans, is a creamy and mild legume widely used in Indian curries, salads, and soups. It is prized for its soft texture and its ability to cook faster than the traditional red variety.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: Large, kidney-shaped beans with a pale cream or off-white color.
- Texture: Becomes very creamy and luscious when cooked, making it ideal for thick gravies.
- Flavor: Milder and subtler than red rajma, allowing it to absorb spices effectively.
- Cooking: Generally requires overnight soaking and takes less time to pressure cook than dark red beans.
