This type of rajma gets its name from the Hindi word due to subtle red lines that run across the surface of each bean. The bean itself is white, and so the white and red form of the bean is beautiful to look at. When cooked, chitra beans are softer than red beans. This type of rajma is an excellent source of protein and vitamins and an ideal lunch or dinner in winters.
