1To Make the Ribs: Dust the ribs with flour. Heat half of the oil in a pan and sear the ribs on all sides until browned. Once browned, place the ribs into an oven dish.

3Incorporate the curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer this mixture to the oven dish with the ribs. Add water and MAGGI Beef Bouillon, cover with a lid, and bake for 3 hours at 150°C.
-
4Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven. Blend the sauce until smooth, then bring it back to a boil. Add MAGGI Original Gravy to thicken the sauce as desired.

5For the Dhal: Boil the sweet potato until just soft, then drain and set aside.

6Heat oil in a pan, add cumin and bay leaves, and allow them to crackle. Then, add the onions and garlic, cooking for 20 minutes until softened.

8To Finish: Combine the cooked lentils with the sweet potato and stir in the lemon juice. In a separate pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Allow them to crackle, then pour this mixture into the lentils.
