Title: The Balti Page - Update
Post by: Curry King on July 25, 2005, 11:36 AM
I think this is an update as I don't remember seeing recipes on there before:

http://www.owlsprings.com/the_balti_page/balti_recipes.htm

There is a balti sauce, spice mix and masala paste which looks similar to the 100 best baltis book.? Theres not many actual balti recipes but worth a look if you havn't got the book.

I was looking at the spice  mix on the balti site

      4 T  Coriander seeds
      2 T  White cumin seeds
      2    2-inch pieces Cassia bark
      1 t  Fennel seeds
      2 t  Black mustard seeds
      4    Cloves
    1/2 t  Wild onion seeds
    1/2 t  Fenugreek seeds
      1 t  Dry fenugreek leaves
     10    Dry curry leaves
      1 t  Green cardamom seeds
    1/2 t  Lovage seeds


It seems a very odd mix
I have used curry leaves a few times with no noticable effect.
I think they burn very easily
Have you had any success with them?
And of course,there are the lovage seeds.
Bruce Edwards was the first to mention them
I think they definitely play some part.
The onion seeds are a strong flavour
I wonder if these spices will come up in the new book?
I hope this book will start the ball rolling, and other restaurant chefs will want to have a go!
This time next year, we might be spoilt for choice
