Instructions

1. 1The night before you plan to cook, place the 1 cup Mixed Beans (9 types) in a large bowl and cover with plenty of cold water. Let them soak overnight.
2. 2Drain the soaked 1 cup Mixed Beans (9 types) and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside.
3. 3Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1 medium Onion, cut into 1.27 cm pieces, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
4. 4Add the 1 medium Tomato, cut into 1.27 cm pieces, the 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated, and the 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes have softened, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Cumin Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Coriander Powder, and 1 teaspoon Salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. 6Add the drained 1 cup Mixed Beans (9 types) to the pot and stir to coat them with the spices and vegetables. Pour in enough cold water to cover the beans by about 5.08 cm (approximately 4-5 cups).
7. 7Bring the water to a boil over high heat (204.4°C / 200°C), then reduce the heat to low (93.33°C / 95°C). Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. 8Once the beans are tender, carefully ladle about 1 cup of the soup and beans into a blender. Blend until smooth to create a creamier texture, then stir this blended portion back into the pot. Alternatively, you can skip this step if you prefer a brothier soup.
9. 9Taste the soup and add more 1 teaspoon Salt if needed. Serve the Kwati Soup warm in shot glasses or small bowls.
