Instructions

  • Start by adding the olive oil to a non stick frying pan and preheat on low. Allow the cumin and mustard seeds to heat through until they begin to crackle.
  • At this point we can add the onions and garlic, increase the heat to medium, sautéing the ingredients until transculent.
  • Now is a good time to add the remaining spices - again saute everything for a further 3-4 minutes - by now a lovely aroma should permeate the air.
  • Add the tamarind, broad beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and tapioca starch infused water.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover pan/pot and leave to simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  • Half way through simmering time the sauce will being to thicken. If the water recedes replenish with ¼ cup of water.
  • Do a taste test and adjust seasoning if required and serve accordingly.
