Notes
Uniqop’s advice:
- if you add salt and limes earlier, it can obstacle the process of meat cooking.
- Soak the beans for 24 hours and rinse and resoak them two or three times for a better result.
- Separate the limes’ seeds to prevent any bitter flavor may be caused by limes.
- If you do not have access to the stew meat, you can use fried meatballs made out of ground meat(koofte ghelgheli, کوفته قلقلی).
