Heinz has recently brought out a trio of limited edition beans which have curry flavours. I thought I would sample one of the varieties on toast with a twist.
The three flavours are Jalfrezi, Tikka and Vindaloo. I only eat mild curries, so there was only one on my list for the following experiment I came up with.
I had no choice, but to settle for the Tikka beans. The other two had no chance because they are far too spicy and I wouldn't have enjoyed creating my idea.
On the occasions when I have curries, I choose Korma. Venturing into Tikka has been done, but very rarely.
I always like to have Peshwari naan bread with my Indian meals, so I thought - instead of having the beans on regular toasted bread - I'd put the beans on naan instead.
To keep in line with this being an Indian take on beans on toast, I melted some cheese on top of the beans and naan bread. After showing my friend what I had done, he asked me if I had used Paneer cheese (Indian). I hadn't. With hindsight, I absolutely should have because it would have made my idea even more on theme.
I enjoyed both the beans and naan bread combo. I would do this again if I ever come across the Tikka beans again.
I'll also do what my friend had suggested and use Indian cheese just to go for an Indian trifecta.
That looks like my bicycle saddle after a particularly tricky ride
