ASH SHOLE GHALAMKAR

Steps:

• the peas, the white beans, the cheetah beans and the wheat need to be soaked and left in some water from the night (at least 12 hours) before you want to cook this dish, and change the water with some fresh water several times.
• Soak the other legumes, such as the raw beans, the lentils, the mung beans, and the rice, in the morning (6 hours) of the day you want to cook the broth.
• Make a lot of fried onion and leave it aside.
• Place the meat with one onion and 2 to 3 sticks of cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a pot on the heat so that they cook well and become softer.
• Cook all the beans, rice and wheat in three different pots. It's not possible to cook them in the same dishes, because each one has a different process of cooking. The beans need at least 3 hours, rice needs at least 1 hour and the wheat needs at least 1 hour of being heated. Based on the mentioned times given, cook them separately in different pans and manage your time.
• Place the cooked beans on the heat with meat juice (Meat Stock can be used as well).
• Beat and mix the cooked wheat and the cooked rice.
• Also beat the meat into a bowl.
• It will make your broth sticky. When the beans have come to boil, remove more than half of them from the water and knock them back and bring them back into the pot.
• Add the chopped rice and the wheat to the contents of the pot and place the fried onion in it and stir it
• After stirring the herbs, add the meat the salt, the pepper, the cumin, and the saffron to the ingredients and mix all the ingredients well.

MIXED PULSES AND HERB SOUP

Steps:

• Wash all the pulses in cold water, then soak them in cold water overnight.
• Wash the rice in several changes of cold water until the water remains reasonably clear. Drain the rice, tip into a bowl and add enough cold water to cover the rice. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Leave to soak for 2 hours.
• Peel and chop the onion.
• Spread out the herbs and pinch off the leaves and tender stalks to separate them from the tougher stalks, discarding wilting and yellowing leaves. Wash them in plenty of cold water and use a salad spinner or shake well to get rid of excess water. Chop the herbs finely with a sharp, wide-bladed knife, reducing the mountain of leaves you started off with to a small mound. Set aside. If you chop the herbs in advance, keep them fresh by covering with a damp tea towel in the fridge.
• Cooking
• Use a large, heavy-based saucepan (pulses expand considerably when cooked, so be sure your pan is big enough). Put the pan on a medium to high heat, add the butter, then add the oil and fry the chopped onion until soft and golden.
• Drain the pulses and add them to the pan. Stir to coat the pulses thoroughly in oil. Add 1 litre/1 3/4 pints of the boiling water and bring back to the boil. Do not add salt at this stage. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat. Simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours until all the pulses are very tender. You should be able to squash any of the beans of peas between your thumb and forefinger.
• Drain the rice and add to the pan. Crumble the stock cubes and add to the pan with the rest of the water. Simmer for 30 minutes until the rice is completely cooked (you should not be able to see whole grains of rice), stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Add the herbs and the turmeric. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Simmer gently on a low heat for a further 30 minutes, stirring frequently. It is important to cook this aash slowly so that the herbs' aroma can develop and diffuse into the mixture.
• Garnish
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a small frying pan/skillet, add the sliced onion and fry until light brown. Add the chopped garlic, stir and set aside. Heat the butter with the remaining oil in a separate small pan. Add the dried mint, stir and remove from the heat immediately.
• Pour the aash into a large soup bowl and garnish with the fried onion and mint.
