I wish I liked balti curries, these pictures make me want some now!

I find balti curries always taste a bit bitter/vinegary to me. Is this the norm, or was I having them from the wrong TA?

I'm going to try a balti chicken korma this weekend gagomes.  Just looking at the recipe in Authentic Balti Curry and it's a bit different.  Tsp amounts of coconut and almond powder, with coconut (and cows) milk.  It also involves a dedicated straightforward (3 onion) korma base, with carrots.  Going off the picture on the front cover it certainly looks the business. Will see how it goes.

Good luck Rob!

Please report, as I'm a big fan of Korma myself. I'm mildly curious about the use of carrot in this dish, though I know some bases do make use of carrot

Will do.  There's plenty carrot in this base. 3 carrots to the 3 onions.  No food colouring in the recipe either.
