Here are some incredible Mother’s Day dinner recipes that everyone, especially your mother, will enjoy. Give your mom a break from kitchen duties by preparing her these three incredible meals this Mother’s Day –
Rajma
Every Indian mother forces her child to eat Rajma. That’s because this dish is packed with nutrients and is pretty amazing. Thankfully for all the sons and daughters out there, this all-time favourite dish is also pretty easy to make. Here’s how you can prepare Rajma on Mother’s Day –

- Add one tablespoon of oil, chopped onions, curry leaves and sauté for a few minutes.
- After the onions are soft, keep stirring the pot and add chopped tomatoes.

- Now, heat two tablespoons of oil and add the tomato/onion sauce.
- Sauté for 3 minutes until the oily mixture separates.
- Add rajma masala mixed with water to the boiled rajma.
- Cook for 3 minutes and keep adding water until the gravy is not too thick.
