Balti Pasta

Who says you can’t use Balti Sauce in Pasta?

Balti sauce Curry is a favourite in our household.  we all love the taste of the homemade Balti Sauce so when ever I make a batch, I make extra to use in other cooking. Adding Balti sauce instead of normal tomato sauce to pasta adds a real Indian taste to a traditional Italian dish.
