North Indian White Bean Curry

40 minHealth 89

Deep amber and fragrant with cumin, coriander and warm spice, this North Indian white bean curry arrives at the table looking as though it has been simmering all day — and it tastes like it too. Soft, creamy white beans are enveloped in a rich onion-tomato gravy, finished with a burst of homemade garam masala and a squeeze of lemon for brightness. It is hearty, satisfying and genuinely good for you, equally at home on a midweek supper table or at the centre of a weekend feast.

Garam Masala (Indian Spice Mix)

15 minHealth 84

Deep, warming and intoxicatingly fragrant, this North Indian garam masala fills your kitchen with the scent of toasted cardamom, cloves and cinnamon the moment it hits the pan. Freshly ground from whole spices, it has a richness and complexity that no shop-bought jar can match. Stir it into dals, chana masala, curries or roasted cauliflower and tofu tikka whenever you want a dish to taste truly alive.

Two swaps, a very different score

What changed
  • Ghee or butter swapped for a single tablespoon of olive oil, so the rice is fully plant-based and lower in saturated fat
  • Garlic and thinly sliced mushrooms folded through for savoury depth, a festive side for the Diwali table
