Balti Vegetable Curry
cooking spray
4 to 5 cups of vegetables(spinach, mushrooms, cauliflower, potatoes and peas,
or whatever your heart desires)
2 cups Balti Sauce
salt to taste
chopped fresh cilantro and garam masala for garnish
Heat spray in pan, add mixed vegetables and stir fry for about five minutes.
Add Balti Sauce and stir-fry until hot and bubbling. Lower heat, cover, and
simmer ten to fifteen minutes until vegetables are cooked. If sauce looks dry,
add 1/4 cup of vegetable stock or water. Add salt to taste. Garnish with
cilantro and garam masala.
Serve it over some bismati rice, and you've really got something. Serrano
peppers are pretty hot, so cut down on them if your a wuss.
