Topic: Balti with Darth's Base

[CurryLover_NZ]

Hi all,

I have just had my worst ever curry-making weekend, and my biggest failure to date 

I came across a Balti recipe on the web: 'Brett's Balti'. The originator was from Birmingham and the recipe was based on the 'best bits' from a number of balti recipes around the net. I used to love the chicken balti at the 'Balti Walla' in Cheltenham and thought I would give this one a go. Well, - what a disaster!   

From the outset the recipe didn't seem quite right - no base sauce and a very simple list of ingredients. Anyway I gave it a go and consequently wasted an entire pack of meat. Well, not entirely true-  I did manage to make it passable, and bulk up the sauce content somewhat,  by adding a 1/2 litre bag of Darth's base sauce and some extra tomato puree. It still ended up a rather unappetising muddy grey/brown colour and tasted nothing like the Baltis I have ever invested my cash in.

Still, waste not, want not, I will no doubt attempt to do it justice with a chunk of naan later this week. My daughter has already tried a portion and was very polite about it 

So, my question to the forum is this: Is there a good balti recipe that I can use with Darth's base? The one I used to make had a very simple, onion-laden base, not too dissimilar to Darth's.

I love nothing better than a good curry scooped up with lots of naan bread. There are a few balti recipes on the forum, but the feedback is very light.

Your advice would be welcomed.
