BALTI HOUSE CURRY SAUCE



Balti House Curry Sauce image

A great base sauce for use in all kinds of curries, what Indian restaurants use - my version is a distillation of several I've tried. I use my own home made curry powder without any chili so sauce is not hot, this allows better control of heat when using in curries but is not mandatory! Fresh chili can be added if preferred.

  • Use a variety of spices. Balti curry is known for its complex flavor, so don't be afraid to use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste. If you like your curry spicy, add more chili powder. If you like it mild, reduce the amount of chili powder.
  • Serve with rice or naan bread. Balti curry is traditionally served with rice or naan bread, which can be used to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Balti fish curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its complex flavor and variety of spices, this curry is sure to please everyone at your table.
