A balti or bāltī gosht (Urdu: بالٹی گوشت, Hindi: बाल्टी गोश्त) is a type of curry served in a thin, pressed-steel wok called a "balti bowl".[1] The name may have come from the metal dish in which the curry is cooked,[2][3] rather than from any specific ingredient or cooking technique.[4] Balti curries are cooked quickly using vegetable oil rather than ghee, over high heat in the manner of a stir-fry, and any meat is used off the bone. This combination differs sharply from a traditional one-pot Indian curry which is simmered slowly all day. Balti sauce is based on garlic and onions, with turmeric and garam masala, among other spices.[3]
Balti gosht is eaten in North India and some parts of Pakistan,[5] as well as other parts of the world, such as Great Britain.[6] The British version of Balti was developed in Birmingham in 1977.[7][3]
