Chicken Tikka Balti Night
There are two schools of thought about the name ‘balti’. One is that it originates from Baltistan in northern Pakistan, the other that it is a British translation of the Urdu word for ‘bucket’ which refers to the dish the curry is cooked and served in. Whichever is true, it’s now a ubiquitous curry house dish - a classic balti is spicy but not hot and has a lovely depth of flavour from the spices that can’t be achieved by the use of a regular curry powder. It’s served here with veg pakora, jeera (cumin) rice, green chilli raita, and a tangy tamarind chutney.
