Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
For those who want to cook the beans from scratch, here goes...soak dried beans in water to cover overnight.
Next day rinse and pressure cook beans in 3 cups water for 40 minutes until soft. Cool, rinse and keep aside till required.
Heat a non-stick pan with oil.
Add onions, ginger, garlic, coriander leaves, spring onions, and celery. Stir fry until golden brown.
Add tomatoes and cook until mushy on medium flame.
Add curry powder, beef/pork, marrowbone and spices with 2 1/2 cups of water.
Cover and pressure cook for 20 minutes until done. Beef may take 10 minutes extra to cook. Adjust water and time accordingly.
Cool and add salt to taste. Stir in the cooked beans and bring to the boil. Simmer 5 minutes.
Remove marrow from bone, cut into pieces, and use to garnish.
Serve hot with Kichdi (rice with lentils) or bread.
For a richer flavour, consider adding optional spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom.
Ensure the beef or pork is cubed evenly for consistent cooking.
Adjust the salt according to your taste preference.
