Pressure cooker: 1kg beef shank, 1 Kansi Bomb and 3 cups (720ml) of water. Cook for 30-40 minutes, until the beef is tender. Release the pressure, add 1/2kg unripe langka and boil until it's tender.
Stovetop: same pot, same three things. Simmer over low to medium heat for 2-3 hours, and add the langka for the last 20 minutes.
Top with green chili and serve hot with rice. Want a clearer broth? Put the bomb in a Mad Bombs Spice Bag first.
