first ever attempt at a curry today
thought i'd try a chicken balti
it's simmering on the stove as we speak, haven't given it a taste yet as chicken isn't quite cooked, but my eyes are watering in the next room, can feel that curry heat / sweat on my face from inhaling it

• onion garlic ginger.... fry
  
• add brown mustard seeds... fry further
  
• add chilli, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, cinnamon stick, bay, cardamom, cloves, cumin seeds, corriander seeds, paprika .... fry more
  
• add chicken and a small amount water .... simmer let flavours infuse
  
• add 2 tins cherry tomatoes
  
  

simmer for a couple of hours

have i added to many spices, anyone spot any obvious flaws
the recipe was gleaned from half a dozen recipes on the net and i just kept adding spices from each recipe to my list and just chucked them all in
