That looks amazing Rob.

Thanks again for all of the positive feedback.

I feel very humbled

It's Balti night every night at the moment Mick.  Your base recipe is just incredible! I won't be making anything else. I think the options it gives will be limitless.   However, I make your chicken recipe regularly as the benchmark, so I don't stray off too far.

This one went in the fridge.  Made to spec, except for a pinch of salt and 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder.  Rotisserie chicken.  The next day I offloaded some of the oil and reheated in the combi oven/grill.  May have overdone the grill by a fraction. But that's OK, just needs more practice.   10/10 as usual.  All that is missing is a garlic naan bread, smothered in ghee butter.  Balti paradise!











Thanks again

Great photo Mick.  Proper.  I am getting on nicely with the kashmiri powder.  Finding a good rounded tsp in the pan does not impair the flavour.  It will be good to get it into the base, as in your MKII recipe. 





Here's a couple of dishes from this week.  Using what ingredients I had in.


Balti Chicken and Mushroom Jalfraize  (pre-cooked thigh with wild mushrooms)





Balti Meat Jalfraize (pre-cooked mutton shoulder)

Quote from: moonster on October 05, 2022, 12:53 PMCan this curry base be used as a standard base for any curry recipe or is it just recommended for Balti`s?

Not only can it be used for standard BIR fare I would highly recommend it for that purpose.

This base is excellent. I used my last frozen portion this week, with chicken tikka which went down very well with the missis again. Not the heat that I prefer, but very, very good curry.  I will be making a fresh batch this weekend, using my electric pressure cooker rather than the boil for an hour method. On its own, it makes a very good, not hot curry full of flavor.  Used as a base, with added spices, chillies etc, it makes a fantastic dish for me. A strong recommend.

I will also be making the balti paste our good friend Livo posted a link to somewhere on this thread. Managed to find a packet of cardamom seeds so don't need to husk a load of the pods and very excited to try that. Yes, very excited.  Curry does that.

Thanks SS and Livo, I am very much looking forward to making this now.

Going to do the base today and curry on Saturday.

I will feedback with my results
