Noooo. Sulphur dioxide rotten eggs ;D

I'm very surprised that there are no whole cardamon pods being used as most balti's I have had you will find one somewhere in the dish.  (I'm in the midlands and have used the Birmingham triangle considerably)

I've been to quite a few now and as I've said before, 'Will the real Balti please stand up' Quite a bit of difference between the balti houses there.

Really looking forward to this trip to break the Aurora Borealis sighting curse.

With all the American tourism in Iceland, I reckon there's a place for a good curry house in Rekjaviik

Right I have grabbed the youtube video and will try this on friday.
I will add more onion, tomato, water, spice mix and also add green caspicum and a cardamon pod to try and bring it in line with my local T/A (ie more gravy and the difference in recipe)

I'll report back how it compares.

I like it as it is but I will also be slightly altering this to aquire more gravy
I suspect he uses base at his restaurant I'm going to ring him up and ask him the question
Hope he doesn't take offence

Thanks for the extra info Bob - and to everyone who added their thoughts.

Sadly, CT, I agree with the points you make.  Watching it the first time I also thought it was no more than a basic chicken curry.  Maybe their customers are willing to wait 18 minutes for their freshly prepared meal, but I doubt if any of the Birmingham Balti Houses would play that game.

Oh well......back to trying to make more discoveries!!

Sidetracking slightly but still on Balti, the nicest ones I had were from Imrans and the Al Frash. Both similar. The closest to them I've been was with the Mangal Balti powder Chewy recommended and we both agreed that the taste in the curry, you could smell in the box but we couldn't put our finger on it at the time. Perhaps need to start again. I'm sure I'll be back down Ladypool Road soon. And as Chewy points out in the massive Balti thread, there's an authentic 15min recipe on the back of the box.
