Dive in, explore its versatility in curries, fritters, or salads, and discover why Rajma has captivated hearts (and stomachs) for centuries. This is Rajma, and its story is just getting started. Are you ready to take a bite?

You say Hot, I say Picante!

The roots of salsa trace back to the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans, who ingeniously blended tomatoes, chilli, and squash seeds to craft the delectable sauce. In the 1500s, a priest officially dubbed this creation "salsa," christening the condiment with a name that would ultimately propel it to global recognition. Conversely, the term "Picante" murmurs "spice."

Interestingly, the tastiness of salsa picante is frequently gauged on the Scoville Scale, a tool that quantifies spiciness. The higher the Scoville rating, the fierier the sauce becomes. For instance, habanero peppers can boast a Scoville rating ranging from 100,000 to 350,000. So, the next time you ladle a spoonful of Salsa Picante? It's a symphony of flavour!

A New Best Friend for your Rajma

What truly enhances this Rajma dish from "meh" to "magnifico" is the secret weapon: Chilzo’s Salsa Picante. This isn't your run-of-the-mill supermarket salsa, my friends. It's a harmony of smoky chipotle peppers, zesty tomatoes, fresh red chillies, and a hint of sweetness that'll satisfy your taste buds. It's the perfect companion for our Rajma, contributing depth, heat, and a generous dose of soul to every mouthful.

Ingredients you will need:

• 2-3 minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
• Chopped veggies (assorted vegetables of your choice)
• Salt (to taste)
• Chilzo’s Mexican seasoning
• Chilzo’s Salsa Picante

1. Heat some oil in a pan, then toss in the minced garlic like confetti for your taste buds. Watch it sizzle and sing (it's the hype man for the veggies).
2. Throw in your favourite chopped veggies. Think bell peppers doing the shimmy, onions shaking their leafy booty, and whatever else your fridge is hiding. Season with salt, because even veggies need a little shake of flavour.
