Instant Pot Stuffed Red Kidney Beans Paratha – 5 Ingredients with Homemade CINNAMON APPLE MUFFINS . 

 I cooked Red kidney Beans to prepare Rajma Masala . My kids are not interested to eat with rice and want something different for afternoon Lunch . So I thought of  preparing wraps and cooked the stuffing in Instant pot as I already have cooked Beans. If your Kids doesn’t like to eat Rajma Masala ( Red Kidney Beans Curry) try these wraps. One is enough and keeps them full till Dinner time even if they go for Playground. I prepared the stuffing in INSTANT POT . Prepare the stuffing in your free time and just stuff in Whole grain or Whole wheat wrap ( Homemade or store bought) before you serve. No need of any Ketchup or sauce. They taste good on their own. With Cucumber slices and Home made Cinnamon Apple Muffins.

Adding beans to your diet may improve Blood sugar balance , reduce risk of chronic diseases and protect overall health. Red Kidney Beans starch is called slow release Carbohydrate . It digestion takes longer and it causes lower and more gradual rise in blood sugar than other types of starch. Low in GI which means how foods affect the rise in blood sugar after a meal. Red Kidney Beans are known as Rajma in India and they are important part of a vegetarian diet due to their excellent protein content. The protein is incomplete and should be paired with carbohydrates .Before consumption Kidney Beans should be soaked properly and Cooked properly.
