How to boil kidney beans?

Remember, raw or undercooked kidney beans can be toxic. Make sure you soak them for at least 8-12 hours, discard the soaking water, and boil them vigorously for at least 10 minutes before simmering. Don't take any chances!

Beta, for rajma, always soak them overnight. Then drain that water, put fresh water, and pressure cook for about 5-6 whistles. After that, let the pressure release naturally. They will be soft and perfect. This is how we always do it at home.

I used to find boiling rajma so frustrating, sometimes they'd stay hard for ages! But soaking really helps. It takes time, but it's worth it for that perfect texture. Don't get discouraged, it's a bit of a learning curve.

Rajma is good for health, high in fiber. Just make sure to boil them well as suggested, but also be mindful of the salt and oil in the curry you make with it. For diabetes, less oil is better.

I used to panic about if my rajma were cooked enough, especially after hearing about raw bean toxins! But if you soak them overnight and then pressure cook thoroughly, you're absolutely fine. Don't overthink it, just follow the basic steps.

Kidney beans are very healthy. Just ensure you don't add too much salt while boiling or in the curry, especially if you have BP issues like me. Keep an eye on your overall diet, not just one ingredient.
