What is "balti"?

Balti is a type of curry that originated in the Baltistan region of Pakistan and is commonly found in the UK. It is typically made with a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika, which are combined with onions, tomatoes, and garlic to create a rich and flavorful sauce. The dish is often made with meat such as chicken or lamb, which is cooked in the sauce until it is tender and infused with the bold and aromatic flavors of the spices. Balti is usually served in a small, metal dish called a balti bowl and is often accompanied by rice or bread such as naan or roti. The dish is known for its bold and spicy flavors and is a favorite among many who enjoy Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
