Add tomatoes and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans, broth, salt, and reserved beef.

Indian Masala Spice Mix

  1. Shake everything together in a small jar, cover and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

*Handling Hot Peppers

Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.
