  3                  T  Vegetable oil
  4                     Onions -- chopped
  1        Small piece  ginger -- peeled and grated
  1              Large  garlic clove -- crushed
  1                     Tomato -- chopped
  1                  T  Paprika
     1/2             t  Turmeric
     1/2             t  Cumin (ground)
     1/2             t  Ground coriander
  1                  t  Chili powder
                        Fresh chopped coriander (a handful)
                        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
