Red Kidney Beans (Rajma), corn chipotle Salsa

Tuesday, August 19, 2008    16 comments

Trying out new cuisines gives you a pride. Whenever you taste a new dish prepared by the cook in you, don't you get a sense of accomplishment? I do! It gives great job satisfaction. Trying out new recipes have become an undefined task for me. Browsing through my fellow foodies blog and finding something interesting and cooking it is real fun! It makes me feel like I am in school and I am completing my day's assignments!

Yesterday, when I was struck by boredom, I wanted to cook something so that I can change my mood. Now, I had to find some recipe to cook instantly. In a flash, I remembered Jai n Bee's Black bean Salsa. Though I did not have Black beans in my kitchen, I did have (Red Kidney Beans)Rajma. So here comes the Black Bean Chipotle salsa from Jugalbandhi with the variation of using (Red Kidney Beans)Rajma instead of Black beans.



I need to say, Jugalbandhi is one of my favourite spots online. Jai and Bee are doing an awesome job and they inspire me in taking wonderful, mouth watering pictures. Whenever I need a treat for my eyes I jump straight to their site. Keep rocking guys!

This lovely Rajma Salsa which is rich in protein is dancing its way to the following events.



Tried and Tasted hosted by zlamushka. This time it is Jugalbandhi's turn to be tried and tasted. Though their original recipe had Pasta to go with this salsa, I can say for sure that this salsa tasted great and can be eaten all alone!

One Dish Meal : Salads hosted by Archana

Your recipe rocks by Madhuram - Finally an entry to one of my favourite events!

This is a non-rice item which can be eaten for lunch or dinner or snack! It is filling and healthy too!



There is one more recipe I wanted to re post for the Long Live the Shelf event hosted by Roma. I am sending this Tamarind Paste (Puliyodarai paste)which can be stored for a week when refrigerated in an air tight container. This paste can be used to make tamarind rice.
