Clean and wash the beans and steam them in little boiling salted water for 10 - 15 minutes. In the meantime peel and finely dice the shallot. Heat the fat in a pot and fry the diced shallots in it until translucent.
Add curry and briefly sauté. Deglaze with cream, bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes. Wash thyme, dab dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Keep something to garnish.
Add the rest to the sauce. Add the sauce thickener while stirring and bring to the boil again briefly. Drain the beans and add them to the hot sauce. Bring salted water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the noodles for about 8 minutes.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the chops on each side for about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and arrange on plates with the beans and noodles. Sprinkle beans with remaining thyme and serve immediately.
