Malawian people do not use much spices in their dishes as compared to Indians. This helps to maintain the original sweetness and the flavour of the main ingredient. They use onion and tomato in almost all the curries. They also do not use pressure cooker to cook the beans. Instead, they follow the slow cooking method. They cook the beans on a coal stove in a pot for hours (nearly 4-6 hours or overnight!). This way, the beans taste nice and sweet as well as they are easy to digest. I wanted to follow the same method. Just to cut down the time of cooking, I used fresh beans instead of the dry ones. It still required around 2 and a half hours of cooking.
Today I also tried to bring the authentic African taste to my curry and that's the reason why I did not add the typical Indian spices. Most Malawians do not add chillies to their curry, and if they do, it has to the the African chillies! For that reason, I added the Kambuzi sauce in my curry.
