Baked Beans Balti
|
When my mother and father eloped to Britain in the late sixties, they both embraced British culture at a time when Britain was swinging. She came across Baked Beans and used to combine Indian spices to make a quick lunchtime snack for me and my brother when we were kids. |

| Many Asian households in the UK have their own recipe and I also made this in India for a TV show and they absolutely loved it. Incidentally, Balti does mean bucket. This is a truly quick and comforting dish. |

Heat the oil in a small saucepan, then put in the onion. Fry for 1 minute, add the chilli and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously, until the onions begin to turn golden brown. Add the spices and fry for another minute. Add the beans, reduce the heat and cook for 3 minutes. Taste, then season with salt, if necessary. Serve hot with chapatis, naan, pitta bread or just on toast. |
