I finally did it! And it's so quick and yummy. Highlight of my otherwise moody day.
I got the recipe from a news editor that I follow on Instagram and she said this is the Malay version of kacang pool. I don't know what's the non-Malay version but yes this is the one I'm looking for!
Kacang Pool
1 can of broad beans, I think about 270g?
200g cooked minced meat
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pinch of salt
To blend:
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (dry fried)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (dry fried)
2 onions
3 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger
Remove the beans, drain and wash them. Mash with back of the spoon coarsely, depending on the texture you want. Dry fry the fennel seeds and cumin seeds for a few minutes till slightly roasted. Grind. Blend the onions, garlic and ginger together. Because my grinder can't grind 1 tsp of seeds, I ended up grinding all those together. On hindsight, I should have just used the pestle and mortar Hahaha. Fry the paste till fragrant, then add the roasted seeds. Add in the mashed beans and fry for a while. Then add in the meat, stir and add water to cook them together. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Toppings are very necessary! Tomatoes, green chillis, lime and egg. No raw onions for me. So sooo good I licked bowl clean.
