Pat also provides a fascinating introduction about traditional Balti restaurants and its origins in Balti cooking.Balti means "bucket" and is the Pakistani/Northern Indian process of slow cooking and serving a curry in a lidded pot (originally clay -- but steel is now more often used). It enhances the flavors and as such is a preferred method for several restaurant chefs.
