Baked Beans Curry transforms ordinary canned baked beans into a nutritious main dish by combining them with fresh vegetables and aromatic Indian spices. The recipe uses common ingredients like zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots, along with warming spices such as cumin, coriander, and mustard seeds.
The cooking process is straightforward, starting with tempering whole spices in oil, then building layers of flavor with aromatics and vegetables. Coconut milk adds creaminess and helps balance the spices, while also creating a rich sauce that brings all the components together.
The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare, making it suitable for busy weeknights. It reheats well, making it practical for meal prep and leftovers. The curry can be served with rice, quinoa, or bread, depending on preference.
What makes this recipe particularly useful is its adaptability. The vegetable combinations can be adjusted based on seasonal availability or what needs to be used up in your refrigerator. The basic template of spices, beans, and coconut milk works well with most vegetable combinations.
This curry strikes a balance between being hearty and light, offering a good mix of protein from the beans, fiber from the vegetables, and healthy fats from the coconut milk. It's a practical way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet while still enjoying a satisfying, flavorful meal.
