 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3       T            Vegetable oil
  4                    Onions, chopped
                       Small piece of 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

 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.)
