A balti curry is a curry, meat or vegetable, which is cooked over a high flame then cooked again with extra spices and is served in the traditional round-bottomed balti dish. Balti curry is famous in and around birmingham in the midlands, and more specifically an area known as the balti triangle. Birmingham became britain's balti capital thanks to the city's pakistani and kashmiri communities arrival into the city in the 1970's. This famous curry is now served across the whole of the uk, and such fun to make at home (and at a fraction of the cost) of eating out. This balti spice blend really takes moments to make and brings a great freshness and depth of flavor to the meat, fish or vegetables not found in any bottles or ready-made paste which are available from supermarkets.
