The British pathia is a [curry](/source/Curry) that can be made with chicken.[3] A version on [BBC Food](/source/BBC_Food) calls for a sauce made from onions, ginger, and garlic fried in oil, flavoured with tomato, tamarind, chili, lime juice, sugar, bay, and turmeric. The result is a "subtly [sweet and sour](/source/Sweet_and_sour) Persian curry".[4]

A version described by India's [NDTV](/source/NDTV) as being the British dish calls for making a sauce with ghee, ginger, garlic, onions, and tomatoes, flavoured with chili, coriander, [cumin](/source/Cumin), sour tamarind pulp, and sweet [mangoes](/source/Mango).
