Basic Balti Sauce Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
3 tbsp vegetable oil 4 onions, chopped 1 small piece of ginger, 1 peeled and grated 1 large garlic clove, crushed 1 tomato, chopped 1 tbsp paprika 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp cumin (ground) 1/2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp chili powder 1 fresh chopped coriander 1 (a handful) 1 salt to taste
Recipe
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.)

Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for deep fried foods.
Whilst you can buy low carb bread crumbs, you may make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. Simply toast the low carb bread in a preheated oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is well toasted, process it in the food processor or blender. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
