Notes
Uniqop’s advice:
- Cooking beans with tomato juice instead of water makes an extraordinary taste.
- Cover the lid of pot in the last step of cooking with a cloth or tissue.
- Adding a pinch of caraway seed to the beans while cooking reduces bloating.
- Spices are optional, but they are the last touch!
- For a better Polo, be aware of the time your rice needs to be soaked.
