Baked Beans

Its comfort Food night, which calls for Baked Beans. And making it from scratch can't get any better.
I've got very fond memories when it comes to baked beans.  Usually a Sunday night speciality. A sure shot winner with everyone. A family favorite.  I personally don't like the ones we get in cans. Its got a typical preservative odur. But now I always make using navy beans which are widely available in any store or mall. I have also shared a picture of the navy beans for your reference.
So all you need is :

Ingredients :
1.  Navy Beans : 1 1/2 cup of beans (  soaked overnight and pressure cooked for 15 mins)
2. Tomato : 1/2 kg or 5 big tomatoes (blanched, skin removed and chopped)
3.  Onion : 1 cup ( finely chopped )
4. Green chilli : 1 Tbsp
5.  Tomato ketchup : 1 Tbsp
6. Tabasco : 1 Tbsp
7. Salt and Sugar to taste
8. Ghee : 2 Tbsp
9. Jeera : 1 tsp
10. Water : 1 cup

Method :
1.  In a pan, heat ghee add jeera, let it crackle add the onions and chillies. Cook the onions till it turns a little translucent.  Do not fry them completely. Now add the blanched and chopped tomato. Let it cook for 2 mins.
2.  Add the beans & tomato ketchup and tabasco.
3.  Now add water as per your requirement, salt and sugar to taste. Bring it up to boil for 5 mins.
4. Serve warm with toast or baked potatoes.
