Home-Made Balti with a little help...

I have been digging deeper into the world of food sense becoming a Pescetarian. (no, it's not for humanitarian reason's, totally personal and working on going full vegan) I want to start blogging my food to help me remember and give people a place to go and see what I have been working on.

Today, I made Indian for Dinner. Balti! I feel in love with Indian food when i moved to England and decided it would be good to try making at home. So, here is what i used.


A whole medium zucchini.
Two handfuls of fine beans.
A third of yellow and red bell peppers.
A whole medium parsnip.
One can of Black Beans.
One can of Patak's Balit sauce. (one of the Helpers)
Store bought/Pre-made Nan. (the other Helper)
Extra virgin olive oil.
Sesame oil.


I cut up all the veggies into relatively small chunks and put them in a big hot pan with EVOO and sesame oil. Tossed it around a bit and added the beans. Then it sat a few minuets in between tosses. Once all the veggies were tender and beginning to brown I added the Balti sauce. Don't forget to cook your Nan according to the direction on the package.


This meal should feed four adults. I didn't time myself to see how long it took but give yourself about 45 minuets to get it done. I bought organic when I could but that isn't necessary. This is simple and can be changed up as needed. Experiment and find out what works for you. That's what i did. Good luck!
