Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for the recipe, ensuring they are clean and ready for use.
-
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the ghee over low heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic cloves, allowing them to cook until they turn golden and aromatic.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the onions are golden, add diced carrots and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
-
Incorporate Beans: Gently introduce the kidney beans into the pot, ensuring not to rinse them. Include the bean “juice” as well, as it adds depth to the stew.
-
Cover with Liquid: Pour enough water into the pot to cover the vegetables, adding just a little extra to create a flavorful broth.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle in the garam masala and curry powder, allowing the spices to infuse into the stew and elevate its flavors.
-
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the stew to a vigorous boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and cooked through.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce according to your taste preferences, adding a touch of heat and spice to the dish.
-
Thicken if Necessary: If desired, create a slurry with corn starch and a little water, then gradually stir it into the stew to thicken the broth to your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Ladle the piping hot Seva Bean & Vegetable Stew into bowls, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired, and serve alongside crusty bread or steamed rice for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
