Restaurant-Style Lamb Balti from Misty Ricardo's 🍛

Balti. So what is it ? Strictly speaking, it's a curry invented in Birmingham UK, and cooked in a Korai or Wok, and served in the same or similar container. There's much info on Balti on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balti_(food). I prefer to think of a Balti as a verytasty curry, quite heavy on the Garam Masala spices.

Special Balti Paste
This makes a batch (more than the 5 TBSP required for this recipe). All the following ingredients chopped & blended to a paste...
30-40g Onion, 2-3 Red Chillies (Optional. Seeds removed unless you like heat), 2-3 TBSP Fresh Coriander Stalks, 4 Cloves Garlic, 2 cm chunk of Fresh Ginger
1.5 TBSP Tomato Purée (double concentrated) + 4-5 TBSP Water, OR 5-6 TBSP Blended Tinned Plum Tomatoes
1 TBSP Tamarind Paste, or 2 tsp Tamarind Concentrate, or 1.5 TBSP Tamarind Sauce/Juice
2 tsp Mango Chutney
2 tsp Poppy Seeds (Optional)
1 TBSP Onion Paste (Optional)
