How to Make Kwati Soup
Servings 3
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup mixed beans (kwati)
- 1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee (can be substituted by olive oil)

Instructions
- Soak the mixed beans (kwati) in water for one day.
- Boil the kwati beans until it becomes soft (about 1.5 hours). (note: some of the beans are quiet big so it takes longer for them to be cooked)
- Once the beans are soft, heat the oil in another pan and crackle the carom seeds until they turn black.
- Add the boiled kwati beans and turmeric powder into the pan with the carom seeds and stir together for 4-5 minutes.
- After stirring for 4-5 minutes, add the garlic and ginger paste, salt, cumin and red chilli powder and stir them together.
- Then add 3 cups of water to the kwati mix and cook again for 15 minutes.
- Lastly, add the butter/ghee and coriander into the mix and then the kwati soup is ready.
