Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan with a lid over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
-
Step 2.
Add the garlic and ginger, stir for 2 minutes until fragrant, then add the garam masala, chilli powder, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Stir for about 30 seconds to coat the onions.
-
Step 3.
Add the drained butter beans, ground almonds, and water. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pan with the lid and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the butter beans are tender but still have a little bite.
-
Step 4.
While the curry simmers, drain and roughly chop the piquillo peppers if not already done. Also chop the coriander.
-
Step 5.
Stir the piquillo peppers and crème fraîche into the curry. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a splash more water if the curry looks too thick. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.
