How to Make Gilani Kebab Beans
In this section, we have included the steps for cooking a Rashti Kebab Bean. Read the steps to the end and bring the unique taste of Gilan home by making Kebab Beans.
Step One; Cooking Beans
To cook this delicious combination of kebab and beans, we must first go to the Chiti beans. In this section, we must place the beans that have been soaked the night before in a pot of water over low heat until the beans are cooked. However, if you prefer to get through the difficulties of this step as quickly as possible, we suggest using canned beans to cook Kebab Beans.
Step Two; Frying the Onions
In the second step, chop the onion into small pieces. In a frying pan over low heat, pour a little oil and then add the onions and let the onions fry completely and turn golden.
Step Three; Cooking the Potatoes
After the onion is done, move on to the potatoes. Wash them well and add them to the beans to cook. If you are using canned pinto beans, it is best to let the potatoes cook in a separate pot. After the potatoes are cooked, mash them with a spoon and add them to the bean stew.
Step Four; Prepare the Bean Dish
Finally, complete the deliciousness of the bean dish by adding tomato paste and spices. Of course, keep in mind that if you use canned beans or canned beans with mushrooms to cook the bean kebab, you do not need to add spices; because their taste and flavor are complete.
Step Five; Grill the Meat
While you are letting the bean and potato dish cook, season the mutton with lemon juice, pepper, and salt, skewer it, and grill it.
Step Six; Prepare the Rashti Bean Kebab
Your Rashti Bean Kebab is ready! Pour it into the desired dish and serve with local bread. This dish is also very delicious on its own and you can enjoy its pleasant taste.
