Let's Cook

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the roughly chopped onions, crushed garlic, and grated ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until the onions are soft and golden.

Stir in the garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, chilli powder, and ground turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3.
Add the canned chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, drained butter beans, salt, sugar, and 400ml (scant 1¾ cups) of water. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a lively simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced.

While the curry simmers, roughly chop the fresh coriander (cilantro).

After the curry has thickened, add the English mustard and chopped coriander to the pan. Stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat. Spoon the curry into serving bowls and serve hot with rice or flatbreads.
