Steps:
- Grab your pan and heat up the oil, add your sliced onion. Stir fry and cook soft, then add the diced tomato. Cook the tomato soft on medium to high heat.
- Then reduce the heat and add the ginger garlic paste (or chopped ginger and garlic). Then add the spices all at once. turmeric, chili, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, garam masala and stir-fry for a minute or two.
- Now add your pre-cut chicken cubes and stir-fry for another minute on high heat before taking down the heat to slow/medium again. This helps the chicken flavors going!
- Then add the fenugreek leaves, tomato paste and cream, mix and stir cook for another minute on medium heat before pouring in the water.
- Mix all the content well and let cook on slow to medium heat so that the chicken kind of poaches slowly in the spiced curry sauce. Make sure to not turn up the heat too much as this may break down the curry and curdle and high heat can turn the chicken chewy and you don't want that. So, cook the chicken until it's cooked through, juicy but done. That usually takes around 10-15 minutes.
- Take from the heat and serve the chicken balti in the shallow pan. Garnish with a dollop or two of greek yogurt style thick curd, sprinkle some lime juice if you want and some freshly cut cilantro/coriander leaves. Enjoy still hot.

BALTI SAUCE - BASIC SAUCE FOR ANYTHING GOES CURRY
I believe the word Balti actually means "bucket"....this famous style of curry is cooked in a balti pan, much like a wok. I think the reference to bucket means more that you can throw anything in! I fell in love with balti curries years ago living in Birmingham UK - a few blocks from balti central. What sushi bars are to Vancouver, balti houses are to Birmingham. I know this is a very anglo version of balti sauce, a very mild one at that, but it is quite healthy and light....and not lacking any flavour. It's also fairly quick to prepare compared to some recipes I've tried. You can boost up the heat factor as you wish. I included mainly ready ground spices, but of course you could use whole. If you use whole cardamom seeds or whole coriander I would suggest grinding the spices up after you roast them (otherwise you have a lot of woody bits to deal with). Use the sauce to make any kind of veggie curry and serve with naan or roti on the side. This makes 3 cups of sauce - enough for 4 servings. I like to save half the sauce for a different curry later on. (good for a fridge cleaner curry! :) It also improves overnight, as many sauces do. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Measure out the 8 spices into a bowl (first 8 ingredients). If using fresh chilis then leave those out for now. Warm up a large skillet or pot (ideally cast iron) and bring to med-high heat. Gently roast the spices in the dry skillet -- watching the mixture doesn't burn, keep stirring. After about a minute it will become fragrant and begin to get dark - take it off the heat and pour back into the bowl - set aside.
- Put the skillet back on the heat, add in the oil and bring back to medium high heat. Add in the chopped onion and cook thru until translucent. Once the onion is cooked, add in the ginger and garlic and mix well - watching the garlic doesn't burn. Next add the spice mixture back in, followed by the tinned tomatoes.
- Mix in about 1 cup of water - you want a thick sauce, but not too paste-like. Add in the salt, bay leaves and cardamom seeds.
- Grate the zest off of the lemon, add to the pot, along with the juice from 1/2 of the lemon. Save the other half for later, you may want to add more. Let it all simmer on medium-low.
- For a nice smooth sauce, remove the bay leaves and blend until smooth (an immersion blender works well).
