Steps:
- Heat the ghee in a large heavy pan then add the chopped onion and stir for a few minutes with the heat on high.
- Add the cinnamon and cardamons, stir a little then turn the heat down to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the ginger and garlic, stir and cook for another 5 minutes on low heat stirring now and again to make sure nothing browns or burns.
- Add the turmeric, coriander and chili powder and fry gently for a minute.
- Add 1 tablespoon of yoghurt, stir round and turn the heat up so the yoghurt sizzles in the oil (don't worry, it won't split if you've used full cream yoghurt).
- When the yoghurt has lost a lot of it's moisture add another tablespoon. Stir and fry as before.
- Repeat until all the yoghurt is incorporated.
- Add the tomato purée and stir.
- Stir in hot water - enough to make the mixture very fluid.
- Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes.
- Add salt to taste.
- While the sauce is cooking, heat a frying pan at low to moderate then add the flaked almonds. Move the almonds around the pan so they don't burn and heat until they have just taken on a brown colour. Remove from pan and blend in a mixi with a little water to make paste.
- Heat a little oil in a separate frying pan and stir-fry the chicken pieces over a moderate heat until they are sealed and have turned whitish.
- Add almond paste to the sauce and stir. Then add the chicken & simmer gently for another 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and soft. Stir from time to time. If the sauce gets too dry add a little hot water.
- At the end of the cooking you should have a fairly thick, creamy sauce with little patches of oil appearing at the top. Remove the cinnamon and cardamons (if you can find them!).
- Serve, garnished with chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves.
BALTI CHICKEN PASANDA
This dish is very popular in Pakistan and becoming increasingly so in the West. I truly love it. I like it with plain basmati rice and a cucumber-tomato salad.

BALTI CHICKEN PASANDA
ZWT6. Balti cuisine is all the rage in England these days. It is a style of cooking which is thought to have originated in modern day Northern Pakistan. Balti dishes are very rich and flavorful and are famous for their use of highly aromatic spices. Balti Chicken Pasanda is a delicious simple curry with bold and complex flavors. The term "Balti" refers to the actual cooking vessel in which the food is both made and served. It is a rounded cast iron heavy bottom pot, similar to a wok, but with two handles.

Cooking light recipe - Yogurt combines with cashew cream to replace heavy cream in this fragrant and traditional Pakistani dish. The spicy chicken is accompanied by refreshing pineapple and the mellow cashew-yogurt sauce. Use the pita wedges to scoop up the remaining sauce.
