Nice texture and a good way to make a cheap veggie curry. I'm glad I used fresh coriander as this made it feel a little more exotic! - 29 Aug 2008
Better say now I have not tried this recipe - yet. I have added curry powder/sauce/what-have-you to baked beans for as long as I can remember and it might be important to point out that different brands of beans have different ingrediants. Obvious, I know, but things like sweetness that can be a turn off for some people might need to be countered to get the taste right. If you don't have a favoured brand of beans but choose whatever is on offer that week then it could be a case of taste it whilst it cooks so as to get what you want. Sorry to break in to the reviews. - 14 Oct 2012
Why not just use a tin of chickpeas and have it more like a chana masala? The bean sauce is too sweet. - 09 May 2010
