In preparation, toast and grind the cumin, coriander and fenugreek seeds to a powder, and make the special balti paste see ingredients. Add the oil to a Birmingham Balti Bowl on medium high heat. Throw in the star anise, cassia, bark, cumin seeds, cloves, and black and green cardamom seeds. Stir diligently for seconds to infuse the oil with flavour.
As the original cafes in this part of southern Birmingham looked to broaden their appeal away from a purely Pakistani Asian clientelle, they developed a new style of cooking curries that would appeal to both new English Western palates as well as their existing customers. The Balti is therefore a style of cooking based on using a flat bottomed, thin steel wok shaped cooking dish that allows a very high heat to be quickly applied to the ingredients to allow for reduced cooking times.
Vegetable oil is used instead of more traditional ghee and the meat is off the bone again as a move towards appealing to non Asian diners. The high heat and pre-seasoning from the ideally well used pressed steel bowl create a high degree of caramelisation, producing a sweeter flavour and the curry must be served in the dish in which it was cooked. I am sure there are a few more twists and turns that the local expert chefs apply but that I am assured is the reason why a true Balti has to be tasted at one of the local Balti houses rather than being just another curry type made any old way the chef likes.
Eating your Balti with naan or another bread used for dipping, rather than rice is also another feature that is apparently the right way to do it for those looking to truly replicate the authentic style.
