Primary Beans x Paro tarka beans

We teamed up to create a recipe inspired by rajma, a traditional South Asian comfort food with beans simmered in a rich, spiced tomato gravy. Tarka is a heat-activated chili oil—the heat releases the oils and flavors of spices, enhancing their aroma and taste. Drizzle the tarka over tender, brothy beans for a meal that's simple yet rich in spice and complexity.
