Reduce the heat, cover the pan partially with a lid, and simmer until they are well cooked, but not falling apart. Add more water as necessary to keep the beans well covered and add the salt when the beans are close to being done. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours.

Add the onions, cumin, sweet and smoked paprika, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon stick, saffron, and pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender.
