Check out the beans for bad beans and stones. Wash beans, Soak in water for 10 minutes. Bad beans will float. Pick beans for bad beans again.
Make the spice recipe as listed above. Store in dark place in a jar for later use.
Do not presoak beans. Add 2 tablespoons spice mixture, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and water to cover one lb beans in a saucer pan. Bring to slow boil. Simmer. Keep beans just covered. Check water every 30 minutes and stir beans to keep beans covered. Add 1/2 cup of water as required. This is very important to keep beans barely covered with water. Beans will be done in 3 to 4 hours. The secret to this recipe is keep the beans just covered with water and slowly simmer. Flavor of spices will be absorbed into beans.
