Beloved Baked Beans

They are the greatest thing the British have ever invented: Baked Beans. I could have them anytime of the day - in fact, I do actually have them morning, lunchtime and evening. Well, not everyday of course, but occasionally. With bacon and a fried egg on a Sunday morning, on a jacket potato at work or as a quick dinner for when I am on my own in the evening.
You wouldn't think so, but baked beans are actually very versatile. They sell them in many different flavours: Tikka, Jalfrezi, Chili and Mexican. And one of the flavours that have been out there for ages now is Curry. Curried baked beans are the greatest among the inventions around the baked beans. And it doesn't take any time at all to make them sort of from scratch. Don't buy the ready-made curried beans!

Curried baked beans, for 2
: 1 tin of baked beans
: 1 small onion, chopped
: a good handfull of raisins
: 1 tsp ground cumin
: 2 tsp curry powder or curry paste

In a little oil, fry the onion until soft, then add the cumin and curry powder/paste. Let the curried onion mixture gently fry a minute or so, this will bring out the full flavour of all spices. Add the raisins and finally pour in the baked beans. Heat through gently (do not bring baked beans to the boil!) and serve with fried potatoes, chips or on its own.
