1 lrg onion chopped
1 cup Balti sauce see recipe
2 cups long-grain white rice cooked
fresh cilantro chopped

Preparation

1 In a large heavy skillet or wok, heat oil over medium high heat and cook chicken until pieces are no longer pink. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions to the pan and stir fry 3-5 minutes. Add the Balti sauce and simmerabout 5 minutes. 2 Serve over cooked white rice, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. 3 NOTES : "Balti- basically, a stir-fried curry- originated with a nomadic people inIndia. Now it's the most popular dish at hot Indian restaurants inEngland. "Balti houses" are more popular in England than in India, wherethe cuisine is so regional. It supposedly comes from the 'Baltistan'region in northern India- it's now part of north Pakistan- where the peoplewere nomadic and carried minimal cooking equipment." 4 Make it lowfat. We had this for dinner last night- it was very good and not as spicyas you might imagine. I froze the remaining Balti sauce, and next time,instead of using chicken, I will substitute garbanzo beans and/or potatoes.
