Maush pallow

  • Fry onions in oil until fairly dark
  • Add spices (salt, pepper, cumin) (Need to double check the spices)
  • Drain out onions
  • Add beef broth to add more flavor
  • Add mung beans to onion broth

Aush Qurooti

  • Boil pasta in salty water
  • Once boiled, leave water in pasta (but if there's too much water, drain it out so that there's enough to cover most of the pasta)
  • Add chickpeas and kidney beans
  • Add quroot and keep stirring until the sauce sticks to the noodles
  • Add more water or quroot based on sauce consistency (it should be like a white pasta sauce that sticks to the noodles)
