Origin Story
The flavours of this curry are savoury, rich and hearty, leaving you with a homely feeling of comfort. It is said that Balti curries – named after the dome-shaped pan in which they are cooked – originated in Kashmir. However, Balti as it is known in Britain was born in Birmingham in the 1980s.
A classic British restaurant Balti is made with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, spices and coriander. In our rendition, we have refined the sauce by applying our Indian-inspired cooking methods and carefully tailored spice mix.

- Stir in the main sauce and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the protein or veg is cooked through.
Serves 2-3 with naans, rice or parathas.
As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.
If you don’t like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them with the main sauce in step 3 (before final simmer). Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Add a handful of halved baby tomatoes for a change
- For a creamy tang stir in 2 tbsp. of natural yoghurt
- Marinate skinned chicken thighs in the base sauce, grill for 8 minutes until charred, shred or chop up and finish off in the main sauce for a great smoky flavour
