الخطوات

Fry the onion in the oil for 8 minutes until soft and just golden.
Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder and chillies and cook 2 minutes.
Add the peppers and grated carrot and cook 8 minutes, stirring, until the carrot softens and starts to lose its shape.
Stir in the grated tomato, salt and sugar and simmer 8 minutes until thick.
Tip in the baked beans with their sauce and warm through for 4 minutes. Do not stir hard from here.
💡 Beans go in last and get folded, not stirred. Broken beans turn the whole relish to mush.
Taste for heat and serve — hot with pap and braai meat, or cold from the fridge the next day.

💡 نصائح

Chakalaka came out of the mining compounds around Johannesburg, cooked by workers with whatever was cheap and made hot enough to make plain pap interesting.
The tinned baked beans are not a shortcut — they are in the dish as it is actually made, and have been for decades.
It keeps a week in the fridge and gets hotter as it sits. Make it the day before a braai.
