About

Hangover optional. Stuff two slices of bread with cheese and spice-tempered baked beans and then toast for a delightfully British Indian sandwich. I’m yet to meet a South Asian family from Britain to South Africa who doesn’t give their baked beans the spice treatment. It’s our #1 avatar of the storecupboard staple. In South Asian homes, it’s an unwritten law that masala-fying your baked beans takes them from blah to bourgeois. They’re especially effortless when you make the beans the night

This is an interesting one - I always have some baked beans in the cupboard for emergency meals. Over the years I have tried to jazz them up with onions and chilli, but this is much more proper and interesting! That said, I just served them on buttered toast with cheese on top.

My son loves baked beans and as a teen would eat a full meal and have beans on toast with grated cheese afterwards. I will have to inform him of this recipe and see what he thinks. 😀
