Kalki Koechlin Kickstarts Her Weekend By Making Rajma Chawal. Bonus: Round Puri

Name a better comfort food than Rajma Chawal and we will wait. Rajma are red kidney beans that are prepared with spices, tomatoes and onions. When the aromatic rajma is paired with steamed or jeera rice the flavourful explosion in your mouth can cause a foodgasm. Don’t know about you but Kalki Koechlin echoes a similar sentiment. On Friday, the actress treated herself to a plate of home-cooked rajma chawal. In the picture posted by the actress on her Instagram Stories, we could see that the rajma was topped with coriander leaves and served with rice. It looked oh-so-delicious. Kalki also enjoyed a crispy and fluffy puri with the staple North Indian meal. “Thik aayi meri rajma chawal. (My rajma chawal came out okay.) But the puri is courtesy of my cook Urmi didi, meri gol gol nahi hoti (Mine are not round),” read the side note.
