The food is a hot curry-style dish, most likely taking its name from the thick flat-bottomed steel or iron pot in which it is both cooked and served.” 3.2 Balti – An English Invention?

  14. exact origin of the word is debated, but the following are possible: A: usual explanation: balti (meaning, literally, "bucket" in India) refers to the steel or iron pot.

  15. Birmingham = Capital of the Balti  spicy dish was introduced to the city by Pakistani and Kashmiri population in the mid 1970s  bridged the cultural gap between immigrants and new home country vast majority of Balti houses are situated in the Sparkbrook, Balsall Heath and Moseley areas of South Birmingham = “Balti Triangle” there are around 50 balti houses in the “Balti Triangle” - many of them famous for their giant 'table top' naans Birmingham‘s Balti Triangle
