Balti houses are an integral part of eating out in the UK. While many believe the word 'Balti' as the actual dish that is eaten, it in fact refers to the cast iron cooking pot this dish is cooked and served in. This style of food was devised in Birmingham in the 1970's with its roots in traditional Pakistani and Kashmiri cooking techniques. Word soon spread and balti houses emerged across the UK, giving rise to the popularity it enjoys today. A balti dish typically consist of fresh ingredients and a combination of spices cooked over a hot flame and served in the balti dish accompanied by a fresh naan bread.
