Little About Cutlet & Rajma (Red Kidney Beans)

The vegetarian version has no meat in it; instead the filling is a combination of mashed potatoes, onion, green chillies, spices and salt, cooked for a bit together. This version is more popular with the dominantly vegetarian Indian population.  

Rajma is a part of regular diet in north regions. About 100 grams of boiled rajma beans contain 140 calories. 5.7 grams of protein, 5.9 grams of fat and nearly 17.8 grams of carbohydrate.
