Ingredients
- 1 1/2 dozen trotters
- 2 cups of samp
- 1 cup sugar beans
- 1 onion
- 2 teaspoons of oil
- 1 teaspoon jeera seeds
- 1 star anise
- 1/4 tsp hing

- 1 chopped tomato
- 1 stock cube
- 1/2 cup tomato paste

Instructions
- Clean, wash, and boil trotters (I used lamb trotters) until soft.
- I discard the boiling liquid (my preference), feel free to use it in the curry if you like.
- Boil the samp and the sugar beans which have been soaked in cold water for a few hours prior to boiling.
- Fry the onion in a little oil with jeera seeds, star anise, hing (counteracts effects of gaseous foods – aka asafoetida), and leaves.
- Add turmeric, dhania jeera powder, ginger and garlic paste, mother-in-law masala, Kashmiri chili powder, and braise for ±5 mins.
- Add tomato, trotters, curry leaves and mix well with spices, and cook on medium heat for +- 10 mins.
- Add boiled samp & sugar beans, cube (any flavor of your preference), and tomato paste and cook on medium heat for ±15 mins.
- Add water, a little at a time when necessary and depending on how much gravy you like. We prefer a good amount of gravy.
- Sprinkle with garam masala.
- Enjoy
