Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
step 2
Dissolve the stock pot (1) in 200ml boiling water.
step 3
Add the samosas (1 pack) to a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, until piping hot. Alternatively, add to an air fryer at 180°C for 8 minutes.
step 4
Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of vegetable oil followed by the cumin seeds (1 tsp) and cook until they sizzle.
step 5
Add the onion (1), ginger (1 tbsp), garlic (1 tbsp), curry powder (1 tbsp) and garam masala (1 tbsp) and cook for 1 minute.
step 6
Add the tomato purée (3 tbsp) and cook out for 2 minutes, then pour in the butter beans (2 tins) with the vegetable stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened. Add a splash more water as needed to stop the curry sticking.
step 7
Meanwhile, add the tamarind paste (2 tbsp) to a small mixing bowl with the honey (1 tbsp). Season to taste with a pinch of salt.
step 8
Serve the butter bean curry in bowls. Smash or break the cooked samosas into rough chunks and arrange on top of the curry, along with the yogurt (120 g), tamarind sauce, pomegranate rubies (200 g) and coriander (15 g). Scoop up with naan for a heartier meal.
