How to Make Baked Beans Balti

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of baked beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and season with salt to your preference. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter (optional) for a creamier texture.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite bread – toast, chapatis, naan, or pita bread are all excellent choices.
