How to cook dried red kidney beans?
I want to make a healthy bean salad, and I bought dried red kidney beans. I'm not sure how to prepare them from scratch, including soaking. Can someone tell me how to cook dried red kidney beans correctly?

Bhaiya, lal rajma ko raat bhar paani mein bhigokar rakhna bahut zaroori hai. Agli subah use saaf paani se dhokar, cooker mein thoda namak aur ek dalchini ka tukda daal kar ubaal lijiye. Bahut hi naram aur swadishth bante hain.

No need for fancy techniques here. Just soak the dried beans for 8 hours, put them in a pressure cooker with double the water, and let it run for 5 whistles. If they are still hard, cook for 2 more whistles. Simple as that.

Don't follow random internet hacks of adding baking soda to speed up cooking; it ruins the nutrients. Just boil them properly. If you suffer from chronic acidity or IBS, check with your doctor before eating heavy beans like kidney beans.

Prepare your food with love and patience. Soaking the dried beans overnight is like preparing our mind for meditation. Boil them gently with a pinch of salt, and may this food bring health and peace to your life.

If you are short on time, soak them in hot water for an hour in a thermos flask. Then pressure cook them for 6-8 whistles. It's a quick fix that works when you come home tired from work and want a healthy dinner.
