- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep, frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion for 10-12 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic, ginger, spices and chilli for 1 more min, then tip in the spinach and butter beans with 1 tbsp water. Stir together for 2-3 mins until the spinach has wilted and the butter beans have warmed through. Season well and keep warm on a very low heat while you make the flatbreads.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and seeds together in a medium mixing bowl, then stir in the yogurt until just combined into a wet dough. Divide the dough into 2 balls, then roll each out on a floured surface to about 20 cm diameter.
- Dry fry each flatbread in a large frying pan set over a medium high heat for 3 mins on each side until cooked through and lightly blistered on the outside. Serve with the butter beans, a scattering of cashew nuts, the sliced chilli and a dollop of yogurt.
