Winter is here, and so is our urge to embrace everything that is nostalgic, including quintessential comfort food, like rajma. Two home chefs share their recipes that are an ode to the humble kitchen staple

Rajma tacos
Ingredients
>> 1 tbsp oil
>> 5 garlic cloves
>> 1/4 cup chopped onions
>> 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
>> 2 chopped green chillies
>> 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
>> 1/2 cup boiled kidney beans
>> 1/3 cup grated cheese
>> 1 tsp garlic for seasoning
>> 1 tsp Mexican spice mix
>> Salt (to taste)
>> 1 tbsp Amul cream
>> 1 tbsp chopped coriander
Method
In a pan, heat one tbsp oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden brown. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, and green chillies. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onions turn translucent. Stir in tomato ketchup and mix well. Add boiled kidney beans [rajma] to the pan. Mash them slightly with the back of a spoon to create a chunky texture. Sprinkle garlic powder, Mexican spice mix, and salt. Mix the spices evenly. Pour in Amul cream and continue to stir until the mixture thickens.
Toss in grated cheese and chopped coriander. Mix until the cheese melts and forms a creamy consistency. Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions or prepare homemade ones. Spoon the rajma mixture into the taco shells. Garnish with additional cheese, coriander, and a dollop of Amul cream. Serve these delightful rajma tacos hot, and savour the fusion of Indian and Mexican flavours in each delicious bite!
