Heat the oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Fry the onions,

pint water, and stir in the other ingredients. Bring to the boil.

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.)
