Instructions: Heat the fat and stir-fry the garlic for a few seconds before adding the= onions. Reduce heat and cook until onions begin to brown, 5-10 mins. Add the chicken and the Balti paste to the pan, raising the heat and fry for 5 mins. Add cream, sugar and stock, a little at a time. Allow to simmer for a further 10 mins or until the chicken is done. Add the lime juice, garam masala, salt and half of the coriander, stir for a minute or so. Serve with the remaining coriander as a garnish. You can also add slices of tomato to the garnish, if you like that sort of thing. Eat straight away with naan bread and/or rice.
