Masala Beans
Masala beans are packed with flavoursome Indian spices, creating a fun, innovative take on a traditional, affordable breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil neutral
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 green finger chillies finely chopped
- 50 g onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic crushed and minced
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 tin/can baked beans
- 1 teaspoon tamarind sauce
- 1 handful fresh coriander chopped
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- First, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and wait for them to crackle. Next, add 2 green finger chillies (chopped), 50 g onion (chopped), and 3 cloves garlic (crushed and chopped). Saute for around two minutes or until the onion is soft and aromatic.
- Add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder and ½ teaspoon coriander powder and immediately stir into the onion mixture. Cook for a few seconds.
- Immediately tip 1 tin/can baked beans into the pan and mix with the spicy curry base.
- Add 1 teaspoon tamarind sauce, 1 pinch sea salt* and 1 handful fresh coriander (leave some for garnishing). Simmer the beans until they reach the consistency you like, then serve.
Notes
1 can of baked beans is roughly equal to 420g.
* I like to use smoked sea salt for extra nuance of flavour. Add salt to taste, as some brands of baked beans are higher in sodium than others.
