Well I never had a balti from there so I wouldn't know the difference. But I'm tempted to try the base if only because of the mental amount of cassia in it. Are you sure you didn't drop a decimal point?

No The Cassia is the Key ingredient. It took me a long time to realise that my first Eureka moment a couple of months ago was down to accidentally overdosing the Kushi recipe with a massive piece of cassia. You could have made a canoe out of it lol.
Just trust me on this one

Nice one Mick!  Like the sound of this recipe.  What is the Garam Masala you used?

Hi Rob

It was East End I think - not home made

Thanks

Regards

Mick

Thanks Mick.  Made a batch of the gravy last night, to spec.  A rather wonderful aroma lingering in the kitchen this morning.  Balti Chicken planned for tonight.

Rob

Wow!  Didn't think I'd see the day.  The Birmingham Balti nailed.  10/10.  Depth of flavour is completely off the chart.

I was thinking of making this and while perusing the ingredients I noticed that the base has no tomato and the curry has only a tiny amount of fresh tomato. Is that right as it's quite unusual?

There is 250 g of tomato in the base's spice mix.
