1) If you are using fresh, dried kidney beans then soak them in water overnight. Place the beans (including the water they were stored / soaked in) in a large saucepan and add the water. If you are using meat then add the meat at this stage too. Let simmer for one hour.
2) Chop the hot pepper, potatoes, onions, scallion, yam and carrots in to small pieces.
3) Mix flour and a pinch of salt with water until it has the consistency of dough. Pinch off a small amount of the dough and roll it in your hands to make a "spinner". Add the spinner to the pot, repeat until you run out of dough.
4)Add the rest of the ingredients. Let simmer for one more hour.
5) Serve in a bowl with some hardo bread on a side-plate
