Curry would be an ideal option if you are rush for a meal, no matter eat alone or with your families. It goes well with noodle, bread, rice, as toppings or serve aside, spicy or mild, savory or sweet. Only takes few minutes to prepare and it’s a good way to clean your refrigerator.
I’ve had this tomato butter bean curry in a Indian restaurant before. I thought it might be spicy because of the red color, however it turns out that i’m totally wrong. The fruity, sour flavor from tomato lifts the dish and butter bean makes this curry creamy but not heavy. Then I decided to make my own home-cooking version as it’s so easy for me to gather all the ingredients(I always get canned tomatoes and beans in the pantry). I will list down the brands I used or your reference. Feel free to change them with any else brands you like and you can easily get from nearest grocery stores. And ya, of course, use fresh tomatoes instead of canned one if you happen to have some 😜
