Heat a pan and dry fry the onions. Add the fresh chilli/dried chilli/curry powder (whichever you have chosen) and mustard seed powder. Fry until the onions are coated and are part cooked.

Add the beans and sweetcorn to the pan and make sure they are covered with the spice mixture. Cook until heated through (usually about 5 minutes)
