  4. Add 6 cloves garlic and a similar amount of ginger to your processor along with 1 tbsp of water and cut down to a paste. (you can use garlic and ginger paste instead)
  5. Put 3 tbsp oil in a pan on a high heat and add HALF your garlic and ginger mix. Cook until browned

  9. After allowing the mixture to cool a little, pour it into your food processor and pulse a few times and set aside. This is your Balti sauce!!
  10. In a fresh pan, brown the rest of your garlic and ginger mix in some oil, add the remaining half of ** [spice mix] and after a minute, 200g of canned tomatoes.
  11. After about 3 minutes, throw in your diced up chicken pieces
