4 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1Yellow zucchini/courgette
1Onion
1Yellow or Orange Pepper
2Small Red or Yellow Tomatoes
1Clove Garlic
¼teaspoonTurmeric
¼teaspoonChopped chilies (dried)
1Small Cayenne chili
1cupBalti Sauce
½cupWhite wine, or
½cupVegetable stock
Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Scrub all vegetables and dry. Heat oil in karahi. Saute onions until transparent: add turmeric, garlic and chopped dried chilies, and saute for another minute (be careful not to let the garlic scorch), then remove onions and garlic and set aside. Reheat oil slightly.

Slice half the zucchini/courgette into rounds: chop the rest into "matchsticks". Slice and roughly chop the tomatoes: seed and chop the peppers and chili. Quickly stirfry all these vegetables for about two minutes or until partially cooked: add the onions and garlic again, then the balti sauce. Cook for about 5-10 more minutes until you like the consistency. If you like, add white wine or vegetable stock and cook a little longer until sauce reduces thick again. Serve in karahi with naan bread, or (if you're feeling pedestrian) on a plate, with rice.
