Rob's Chicken Balti
A really tasty home made curry that is not too difficult with the spices etc. It comes out just perfect! Just as good as any curry house, if not better. Get the poppadoms and chutney's out if you have them and serve with rice and naan bread. Make the full batch and only put leftovers in the freezer after it has sat for 24 hours. Still tastes great on day of preparation but leaving until the next day takes it to the next level
