Balti Triangle

Birmingham is the culinary birthplace of the famous 'balti'. Invented in the mid-nineteen seventies by a Pakistani Brummie restauranteur, the baltibowl he had specially designed and manufactured was made in Birmingham and still is in the Stirchley area of the City by the Birmingham Balti Bowl Company.

The specially designed bowl is made of pressed carbon steel so it heats up quickly and unlike a wok is flat bottomed with flat handles for stability on the stove. Typically, the authentic balti is cooked using vegetable oil not ghee with fresh spices, according to the preferences of the chef, added during that fast cooking process.

Cooked and served up sizzling hot in around ten minutes, research by University College Birmingham suggests its health properties are far greater than a standard curry.
