ANATOMICAL NOTES:
  The Klingon body incorporates multiple redundancies for nearly all vital bodily functions. This characteristic, known as*brak'lul* {bIraqlul}, gives Klingon warriors enormous resiliency in battle, since almost every function in their body is duplicated in case any primary organ or system failed. (TNG "Ethics", VOY "Macrocosm") 

We don't know how many kidneys Klingons have, but they have at least two *QiVons* {qIvon}, whatever that is.  (Some speculated that it meant kidney).

PUN: *rajma* is a red kidney bean curry.
