Beef Kansi is an Ilonggo dish that is a cross between Bulalo and Sinigang. This dish is flavored with batwan, lemon grass and vegetables like green jack fruit, bok choy and eggplant. Batwan or Batuan is the original souring ingredients to this recipe but since batwan are hard to find when outside Ilonggo region, we used tamarind sinigang mix.
