Rinse the soaked broad beans and add them in a large pot with enough fresh water to cover them.

Add a bit of salt and bring to a boil. Skim any foam it might float. Cook for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or about 25 to 30 minutes with a pressure cooker, until the broad beans are really soft.

In another large pot, heat the oil and fry the onion along with the garlic until golden, then add the chilies and fry for another minute.

Add the tomatoes and some salt to help the juices come out, cook for another 3 minutes at high heat. Add the broad beans and their water, season with pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Check your seasoning, turn off the heat and add the coriander, let it rest for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.
