I made some sweet bean paste using brown beans instead of red beans.
Preparation is not that difficult. With this portion of ingredients, I can get about 350gm of the sweet bean paste which is enough for the portion gelatinized dough. Please refer to this post for the dough recipe Pandan Coconut Buns [Gelatinized Dough Method.

Brown Beans
Ingredients for Brown Bean Paste
100 gm brown beans
2 pandan leaves - knotted
2 pandan leaves - knotted
100 gm dark brown sugar
400 ml water or enough to cook beans until tender
1 tbsp butter
- Boil brown beans with pandan leaves in a pot with water until very tender. Cool and discard pandan leaves . Blend the soft beans in a processor until fine. Add a little water if necessary. Blended them in several batches for easier handling.
- Place blended ingredients in a heavy based pan.
- Stir continuously to reduce the water. Cooked until paste still slightly dry but moist. Add in sugar. Continue to stir and paste is almost dry again.
- Add in butter. Continue to stir fry until paste is smooth and shiny but not dry.
- Dish out and cool before storing.
- Use paste as filling for buns.
Filling enough to makes about 22-24 buns.

Verdict - these buns are soft and moist. With the homemade sweet brown bean paste, it is not that sweet.
