Ingredients

4 fl. oz. oil

1 rounded teaspoon cumin seeds

1 large onion, finely chopped

4 oz. sesame seeds, finely ground

1 rounded teaspoon ground coriander

14 oz. can chopped tomatoes

2 level teaspoons salt

2 rounded teaspoons brown sugar

1 rounded teaspoon chilli powder or hot curry powder

1 rounded teaspoon turmeric

14 oz. can butter beans, drained

A little melted butter (optional)

Chopped coriander leaves

Directions

In a large frying pan, heat the oil.

Add the cumin seeds and fry till they crackle.

Add the onion and fry till soft and coloured a little - about 5 minutes.

Add the ground sesame. Stir in well. Fry about 3 minutes.

Add the ground coriander. Fry a further minute.

Stir in the tomatoes (it will go a weird pink colour at this stage - don't worry).

Stir in the salt, sugar, chilli or curry powder, and the turmeric.

Mix well, and cook the sauce about 5 minutes.

Add the butter beans and heat through.

To finish, if liked a little richer, stir in a little melted butter.

Sprinkle with chopped coriander to garnish.

Sounds wonderful - I would never have thought of adding all these spices to beans, what a great idea! I'm glad to say they'll be less spicy this side of the pond, since American chili powder is MUCH milder (it just tastes kind of smoky). I found that out in the first days of my marriage. Luckily my husband loves vindaloo & anything else that's extra spicy!

Interesting recipe, where does it originate from?

sitbynellie 5 months, 2 weeks ago said:
I think it's of Indian origin; I got the recipe a long long time ago (when I was a student!!!) from a low budget general book of Indian Cookery, the kind you can buy in 'Bargain Books', with no author credited. I just thought it was magic. It's very rich and not at all for the dieter. However, very high in calcium I believe, owing to the sesame!

I'm delighted! They are one of my favourites! This is about the only way I can get Tom to eat pulses of any kind LOL. I can't even remember how long ago I got the recipe, while I was an art student I think! It was a budget book of Indian recipes, that I do remember.
