Vegetarian Baked Beans Curry

This is so easy to do, yet nutritious and tasty. My son at college cooks this very successfully. It is a good side dish for a barbeque. Eat it with rolls or bread.

Baked Beans can be prepared in a variety of ways, including as a salad. This dish can also be microwaved in under 10 minutes. Just add all the ingredients together in a microwave proof container and set on high for 5 minutes. (Be sure to cover the container as the beans may splutter and mess the oven.) Remove, stir contents and microwave for another 3 minutes or when the contents are piping hot. Make sure you wear oven gloves when removing hot items from the microwave.

This recipe may be used with non-vegetarian baked beans as well.
