 | Normally the balti is served with large naan bread; pieces of which are torn off by hand and used to scoop up the hot curry sauce from the pot. |
| The term "balti" refers to the steel or iron pot in which the food is cooked or served, taken from the word balti in Hindi and Bengali for a bucket. |
| Balti houses originally clustered along and behind the main road between Sparkhill and Moseley, to the south of Birmingham city centre. |
| Balti Experience (443 words) |
| Birmingham is known as the Capital of the Balti, which is not surprising as this spicy dish was introduced to the city by its large Kashmiri population. |
| A balti meal is a type of curry, fast cooked over a high flame with fresh meat and/or vegetables marinated and then cooked with extra spices added during the fast cooking process. |
| Balti houses will usually tailor the ingredients on request, which is a particular boon for vegetarians. |
