Tangy Tomatoey Soybeans

"The perfect side-dish for a cold winter night! This goes very well with rotis, or as a sandwich filling (sort of a drier version of baked beans!) Prep. time does not include pre-soaking time for the beans."

  1. I made this one for dinner tonight. I tripled the recipe. I used a 400gm can of baked beans, 3 onions, 13 tbsp. of tomato paste(Paste of 1 large tomato), 6 tsp oil, 6 cups water, 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala powder and 3/4 tsp salt. I garnished it with 6 tbsps. of corriander leaves. The recipe is GREAT! I will make this often! Thanks for sharing it, mom loved it alot! I enjoyed it with white bread and mom had it with hot rotis. Thanks!
     
  2. I had a couple of cans of soy beans I wanted to use up (wasn't sure about proportions, but used 2 cans, each about 450g). This recipe was fast and easy and really, really good - I don't always like bean recipes but found this one very tasty and balanced. Had it with rice as a main dish, with a little extra table salt. Thumbs up from the rest of the family too. Thanks - I'll be making this again!
