Ingredients
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 onions, chopped
1 small piece of ginger,
1 peeled and grated
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin (ground)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 fresh chopped coriander
1 (a handful)
1 salt to taste
Directions: How to Cook Basic Balti Sauce
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Fry the onions, ginger and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add the tomato and stir-fry, breaking it up with the spoon. Pour in 300 ml / 1/2 UK pint water, and stir in the other ingredients. Bring to the boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into a blender or food processor and liquidize.
(Note: this is only one formula of thousands possible. There's no more a single recipe for Balti sauce than there's a single recipe for chili. Some cooks like more garlic, some more chili powder; some use fresh chilies as well: some add yogurt, coconut, cream...you name it.)

nice recipe,but i have found adding 1 chopped green bell pepper 5 minutes
after the onion-ginger-garlic combo really gets close to the "take away"
taste when the finished sauce is liquidised.
