Best Balti Curry Near Monroeville
Balti has a weirdly complicated origin story. Some say it was invented in Birmingham, UK, in the 1970s by Pakistani immigrants cooking in a "balti" (a thin, wok-like pan). Others trace it back to Baltistan in northern Pakistan. Either way, it became one of the most popular curries in British-Indian cuisine and spread worldwide.
What makes it distinct: it's cooked fast, in the same pan it's served in, at high heat. The flavors stay fresh and bold — not the slow-simmered depth of a korma .
