3. Gently boil the vegetables until soft (approximately 15/20 mins), stirring occasionally.

4. When cooked place in a blender to make into puree.

Stage 2

1. Heat remaining 2 tbsp of oil (moderate heat) in a medium sized sauce pan.

2. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, green cardamons, bay leaves and the rest of the onions (finely sliced) and slowly fry until soft (stirring occasionally).

3. Add the Mr Huda's Balti Paste with the yogurt and cook for 1 minute (stirring continuously).

4. Add the chicken and the puree with some warm water (100-125ml) and bring to boil and then leave to gently boil for 15-20 minutes or until the required texture.

5. Once cooking is nearly over add the chopped coriander and leave the curry to settle for 10-15 minutes. Remove any excess oil and the bay leaves before serving.
