The Story of Balti
 Balti was introduced to the region by Birmingham's large Pakistani and Kashmiri communities in the mid 1970's. It now appears in the Oxford Dictionary - it means 'bucket' but is in fact a flat bottomed wok.
Fresh ingredients and a tantalising combination of spices are fast cooked over the highest of flames. It is then served sizzling in the balti usually with a naan bread which has been baked in a tandoori oven.
There are around 50 balti houses in the 'Balti Triangle' - many of them famous for their giant 'table top' naans which can be used as a substitute for cutlery - just tear of chunks of naan and dip in!
 Legend surrounds the origin of balti - there's even a place called Baltistan inhabited by an ancient tribe called the Baltis - but wherever it came from is purely academic. Birmingham is where it all began so hop on a bus and sample the delights of the balti.
For further information about the Balti Triangle, Restaurants & shopping - The essential Balti Guide is available at Tourism Centres across the City or by calling 0121 202 5099. The Balti Triangle also has many exciting shopping opportunities from exotic fruit & vegetables to spices & textiles.
