I love the sauce in this
recipe - it has an exquisite taste.
The original recipe that
this was adapted from has poppy seeds in it too but I
dislike using them as they get in between your teeth and
don't look too glamorous, especially if you have visitors
for dinner. It is a very cheap and easy recipe for
when you have guests over.
In the photo Balti Chicken
is served with Potato Wedges
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons tomato sauce
1/3 teaspoon chilli sauce (more if your kids will eat hot
food)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon garlic
1 and 1/2 tablespoons coconut
1 and 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
500 gm (1 pound) chicken thigh fillets
Method:
Mix the first eleven ingredients together. Slice
the chicken thinly and marinate in the sauce for one hour.
Heat oil in your wok and tip in the chicken and the
marinade sauce. Cook gently and serve with cooked
vegetables or your favourite Chinese stir fry vegetables and rice noodles.
Serves 4.
Notes:
This is also delicious using other meats such as lean,
stir fry beef or lamb. If you use a meat that needs a
longer cooking time then you will need to increase the
amount of water used in the recipe.
