How to Make Baked Beans Balti
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add 1-2 seeded and finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference) and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the onion begins to soften and turn golden brown.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon balti curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Fry for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of baked beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and season with salt to your preference. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter (optional) for a creamier texture.
- Serve hot with your favorite bread – toast, chapatis, naan, or pita bread are all excellent choices.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
