Fragrant Chicken Balti With Rice
It’s not curry night without a classic balti. You’ll recreate this takeaway fave with juicy chicken breast, pepper and an aromatic tomatoey sauce. Plate up with rice and settle in.
You supply: salt, vegetable oil, water, butter, sugar. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Fragrant Chicken Balti With Rice changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
