Preparation
  • 1
    To 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.
  • 2
    In the same pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the spices and allow them to crackle. Then, add the vegetables and cook for 5 minutes.
  • 3
    Incorporate 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.
  • 4
    Once 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.
  • 5
    For the Dhal: Boil the sweet potato until just soft, then drain and set aside.
  • 6
    Heat 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.
