Birmingham is the culinary birthplace of the famous ‘balti’ originally invented in the mid-nineteen seventies by a Pakistani Brummie restauranteur. The “balti” refers to the cooking bowl that facilitates quicks heat up. Figure reproduced from the Birmingham Mail.
Although balti can now be found all around Birmingham, the Balti Triangle, in Washwood Heath, remains the historical place where the original and authentic balti houses still exist.
