Thanks debkellie. It looks like http://www.grouprecipes....omatoes-and-almonds.html is the recipe that I was looking for. It even has the text that I remember from the recipe "Balti has come a long way since it first arrived in the UK around 20 years ago . . ."
Your help is much appreciated.
You're welcome Chokelever .. having just re-read the recipe I might have to give it a go this week!
