Quick & Authentic Balti Chicken Curry Recipe 🍛

No joke, this is the quickest way to make a Balti Chicken Curry - and, as I'm a curry loving English chap, rest assured that it's authentic too. There's something magical about this iconic British/South Asian dish and I've captured it here with just the right amount of heat, a perfect spice mix and, of course, the green bell pepper. I've also got Ron Atkinson's autobiography which details his time in Birmingham - but sadly it's a dour read. It was, however, just about enough to offer some light comic relief while I was making this video.
