• 400G Trs Canned Black Eye Beans 400G
• - McCormick Gourmet Organic Cayenne Pepper MCG-24431
• 1 L Crisp N Dry Oil
• 100G Heera Hot Madras Curry Powder 100g
• - Tata Salt

Instructions

1. 1. Start by preparing the vegetables: peel and dice the onions (Fresh Onion Pack. 1kg - Ofoodi African Store), mince the garlic (Jumbo Garlic 100g), peel and chop the carrots (Carrots - 1kg) into small cubes, and trim the fine beans (Fine Beans 500g). Dice the fresh vine tomatoes (Fresh Vine Tomato 500g) into small pieces.
2. 2. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of Crisp N Dry Oil in a large pot over medium heat.
3. 3. Add the diced onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. 4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it does not burn.
5. 5. Add the chopped carrots and fine beans to the pot. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
6. 6. Add the diced fresh vine tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.
7. 7. Drain and rinse the Trs Canned Black Eye Beans (400G) and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine.
8. 8. Add 1 teaspoon of Heera Hot Madras Curry Powder (100g) and 1/2 teaspoon of McCormick Gourmet Organic Cayenne Pepper (MCG-24431) for spice. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your heat preference.
9. 9. Season the mixture with a pinch of Tata Salt and Natural Sea Salt Bwfo to taste. Stir well to ensure the spices and salt are evenly distributed.
10. 10. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Heinz Tomato Ketchup for a touch of sweetness and tanginess. Stir to combine.
11. 11. If the mixture appears too dry, add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency. Cover the pot and let the Githeri simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
12. 12. While the Githeri is simmering, prepare the Natco Popping Corn as a side or snack (optional). Follow the instructions on the package to pop the corn, and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
13. 13. Once the Githeri is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or alongside the popped corn as a crunchy accompaniment.
