1

Prepare 1 kg of lentils, 600 g of chickpeas, 500 g of red beans, and 500 g of pinto beans.

2

Soak the beans and lentils in water with a little salt for 24 hours before cooking.

3

Boil the soaked beans in hot water without adding oil, as oil will prevent them from cooking properly.

4

After the beans are about 90% cooked, add the lentils, which take less time to cook.

5

Prepare the noodles by cutting them into smaller pieces, using 3 packs for this quantity.

6

Change the water of the beans twice during cooking to ensure they are clean.

7

Make fried mint by starting with cold oil, adding mint to it, and cooking it on low heat until it turns a nice color without burning.

8

Add fried onions to the mint and mix them together.

9

Add fried garlic to the mixture and combine well.

10

Add the cooked beans and lentils to the mixture and let it simmer until everything is well combined and cooked through.

11

Add 2 kg of herbs to the pot at this stage and let it cook further.

12

Season with 1.5 tablespoons of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of black pepper, and a little red pepper to taste.

13

Add salt to taste, considering the salt already present in the noodles.

14

Let the mixture simmer for another 20 minutes, checking the consistency and flavor.

15

Once everything is cooked, add the noodles gradually, stirring to avoid clumping.

16

Allow the noodles to cook until tender, then serve the dish.
