GOAN (MEXICAN) CHILI

There was a packet of Red Kidney Beans lying in my Cabinet for too long. But I just couldn't get myself to cook another  'Chuvndia ross' out of them. Imagine the FOREVER  it'd take to finish in my family of three. Soo... We decided to have our own take at a Mexican Chili very aware that there's hardly the exact same ingredients in my kitchen. But I managed just fine.
Here's how we had it our way...

INGREDIENTS : 

200gm Red Kidney Beans

2tbs Vegetable oil

200gm Beef(lean meat) mince

1tsp Brown Sugar

1tbs Cumin seeds

1tsp Peppercorns

1tsp Goan Xacuti masala(optional)

4 Cloves Garlic minced

2 large Onions finely chopped

1 large Capsicum diced

2 large tomatoes diced

1tsp dried Oregano Leaves

1tbs Chipotle Sauce(or Worcestershire sauce)

1tbs Jalapeños sauce(or pickled Jalapeños ground to paste in its own vinaigrette)

1tbs Tabasco Sauce

2tbs Ketchup

Salt to taste

1 Green Chilli sliced lengthwise

Dark chocolate (optional) 

Garnish with grated cheese and chow down with bread sticks/Rice/Pao. 

METHOD :

Boil the Red kidney beans in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles. Set aside.

Grind 1tsp Goan Xacuti masala, 1tbs Cumin seeds and 1tsp peppercorns. Set aside ground masala.

In 3tbs of vegetable oil, fry the mince on medium high heat. Keep stirring or crushing through with a spatula to separate mince until you get a grainy texture. Add 1tbs of brown sugar. Fry for about 7 minutes.

Make a well in the center and Add the minced garlic to fry, top it up with chopped onions. Let the onion sweat on low heat before you stir it all together.

Add the ground masala and fry for 2 minutes. Adding the chopped Capsicum to fry at this point. Reduce flame to low heat.

Add 1tbs Chipotle sauce(or Worcestershire sauce) , 1tbs jalapeño sauce, 1tbs Tabasco Sauce, 2tbs ketchup, 1 tsp dried Oregano, salt to taste and Chopped tomatoes. Stir it all in on slow flame or until the tomatoes cook down.

Pour in the Boiled red kidney beans along with its water(about 2 cups). Mix and slow cook for 15mins with a lid on.

I dropped a bite size square of Dark chocolate after turning flame off.

Skip the fresh green chilli if your Chili has already attained its spicy kick. 

You could eat it plain with crunchy bread sticks and shredded cheese for garnish Or eat it with Boiled  Rice... Since we Goans can't do without it😂.. Eitherways, serve hot, eat well!
