• 2 cups dried maize, soaked overnight
• 1 cup dried beans (kidney or pinto), soaked overnight
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 large tomatoes, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 tsp curry powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain the soaked maize and beans. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 1.5-2 hours.

2. 2

   In a separate pan, heat the cooking oil and sauté the onions until soft.

3. 3

   Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they form a thick paste.

4. 4

   Stir in the carrots, potatoes, and curry powder. Cook for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the cooked maize and beans to the vegetable mixture. Stir well.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes for the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Stir in the fresh coriander just before serving.
