  8. Give this Mix (or Tadka) a quick churn in a mixer to make a smooth paste.
  9. This Tadka can be made ahead and added to boiled beans.
  10. Add Tadka to cooked beans and simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
  11. Finally mix some Amchoor (mango powder, alternatively squeeze half a lemon) for tanginess & fresh homemade garam masala (see method in Tips & Tricks) for flavor.
  12. Add some yogurt or fresh cream to get the silky consistency and rich flavor.
  13. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
