...this was my first also
, take note on the cinnamon quantities...
Interesting! It was pretty much a random choice, other than looking at the sub-categories and thinking "Hmmm, a Balti sounds good!" I did read that the cinnamon might be a bit much, so I took the sticks out before I gave the base its final blending. Didn't think I'd make much progress on them anyway, with my cheap immersion blender. Cinnamon did not come through as overpowering in the finished product.
Welcome to CR0. Look forward to hearing about your results from the "belting balti" ;D . And pictures would definitely be a bonus. Enjoy the site and all it has to offer 
It was excellent, and my kitchen still smells divine! IMHO, that's one sign of a real decent curry, when you can still smell it the next day, and it makes you happy. ;D Not much left to take pics of at this point, unless you want to see what's left of the base which is still in its pan, waiting to be stored somehow. I think that's a question for another area of the forum - freezing vs. canning. Hmmm.
