Chakalaka homemade
3 tablespoons oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons crushed chillies
2 cloves garlic, crushed
50 grams ginger, finely grated
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
1 bell pepper (green / red / yellow), finely chopped

1 x 400 grams canned chopped tomatoes
4 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until soft and translucent. Add the chillies, garlic and ginger. Add the curry powder and stir to combine. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the carrot and stir to make sure they are well combined with the other ingredients and coated in the curry powder. Add in the tomatoes and tomato paste and stir. Cook until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the baked beans and thyme and stir to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold. Keep in fridge for a few days - or a few weeks in freezer.
