Course : Sauces
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
4 medium Onions -- chopped
1 pieces ginger -- peeled and grated
1 Large garlic clove -- crushed
1 medium Tomato -- chopped
1 tablespoons Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
1/2 teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 bunch Fresh chopped coriander (a handful)
1 teaspoon salt to taste
 

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Fry the onions, ginger and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add the tomato and stir-fry, breaking it up with the spoon. Pour in 300 ml / 1/2 UK pint water, and stir in the other ingredients. Bring to the boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into a blender or food processor and liquidize. (Note: this is only one formula of thousands possible. There's no more a single recipe for Balti sauce than there's a single recipe for chili. Some cooks like more garlic, some more chili powder; some use fresh chilies as well: some add yogurt, coconut, cream...you name it.) Serving
