The publication of the Balti Guide 2009 once

the Balti Triangle a great place to eat, shop or
just soak up its special atmosphere.
Birmingham City Council has a long record of partnership with the

over 1m of support provided to the area, helping the
Balti Triangle to be the attractive and highly competitive
area that it is today. The city council will continue to work
with our partners to encourage investment into
the area, ensuring that the Balti Triangle remains an
increasingly thriving and prosperous place. We wish the

supporting regeneration
B I R MI N G H A M
a vital role to play in the citys
development and regeneration
The Balti Triangle Guide is supported by
Birmingham City Councils Tornado Recovery
Programme. This Programme is a major
economic initiative set up by the East
Development Planning and Regeneration
Team to rejuvenate the area following the
natural disaster in 2005. The scheme has
provided a comprehensive package of
support including; nancial assistance to
local businesses to upgrade their properties,
marketing activities, improved street
amenities and community events.
These initiatives are further complemented
by the potential opportunities set out in the
city councils Area Investment Prospectus
for East Birmingham, and the exciting vision
offered by the A34 Stratford Road Corridor
proposal. Already there has been notable
success with the new Joseph Chamberlain
College development.
This commitment to regeneration forms
part of Birminghams clear vision for the
future of the whole city. The key driving
force for shaping and revitalising the city
centre over the next 20 years is the Big City
Plan, the most ambitious and far-reaching
development project of its kind ever
undertaken in the UK. The Plan will guide
Birminghams economic, social, physical,
cultural and environmental future.
With its work in East Birmingham and
across the wider city, the council and its
partners have a vital role to play in the citys
development and regeneration making
a real difference to the quality of life of the
people of Birmingham.
Birmingham has an ambition to be a truly global city with a local heart. The city has
already taken great strides in realising this vision, with Birmingham City Council and its
partners championing economic prosperity for everyone in Birmingham. Nowhere is this
better demonstrated than the Balti Triangle.

BALTI TRIANGLE
what & where is the balti triangle
B I R MI N G H A M
A balti meal is a type of curry, fast cooked
over a high ame with fresh meat and
vegetables, marinated and cooked with
extra spices, then served up still sizzling in
the balti dish.
Birmingham is proud to be Britains balti
capital and the majority of the citys balti
houses are located in the Sparkbrook, Balsall
Heath and Moseley areas of South-East
Birmingham.
Balti restaurants are generally unlicensed,
although many restaurants are happy for you
to bring your own wine and beer. For details
of indivdual restaurants, refer to the icons in
the review section of this guide.
The Balti Triangle is not only about the
restaurants; the area is home to a wealth of
specialist food shops, jewellers and clothing
stores. This guide will tell you what to expect
and how to make the most of your visit to one
of the citys great cultural experiences.
The guide also includes a number of vouchers
offering discounts to a selection of restaurants
and shops located in and around the Balti
Triangle area. These can be found on pages
43 - 46 of this booklet.
The word balti literally translates as bucket, but it is actually a round bottomed wok with
side handles, originally used by the people in the Baltistan region of Pakistan.

the story of
the balti
8 |
In response to popular demand, more
and more restaurants began offering the
delicious combination of fresh meat and
vegetables with sizzling spices.
The naan is as much a feature of balti houses
as the bowls themselves and perfect for
dipping into your balti. In fact, Birminghams
balti houses are renowned for giant naans
made for sharing, which practically cover the
table!
While many restaurants now have a more
contemporary feel, the traditional glass-
topped tables favoured by the balti purists
can still be found.
The balti dish is now such an established part
of the citys culture that even balti bowls are
made in Birmingham.
The Balti Triangle is at the heart of a local
economy where;
t there are approximately 50 restaurants
and takeaways in and around the
Balti Triangle area
t they attract thousands of customers
both local residents and visitors each
year
t the restaurant trade is a multi-million
pound industry
t hundreds of staff are employed in balti
houses
t a typical balti house will get through
2000 kilos of onions and 300 kilos of
chicken breast in a week keeping many
local suppliers in business
The balti was brought to Birmingham in the mid 1970s by the citys large Pakistani and
Kashmiri communities. It rapidly became established as a favourite, both within and
outside the community.

Some well-known Birmingham
personalities tell us why they
love the Balti Triangle...

BALTI TRIANGLE
celebrity favourites
B I R MI N G H A M B O R N A N D B R E D
I love the simplicity of a balti you get a big bowl of the stuff,
a load of bread and Bobs your uncle my favourite is Balti
chicken with chick peas and spinach.
A particularly memorable occasion was when I was at a balti
restaurant in Birmingham with a badly broken leg. (I must add that
I was also with a bunch of friends, just in case youre thinking this
must have been a particularly sad and lonely night out...). I was
almost entirely plastered from thigh downwards. In fact all that
was protruding from the bottom of the plaster was one extremely
manky big toe. A bloke at a nearby table leant over, looked
longingly at it and said, Mate, can I suck your toe? Thats the great
thing about a Balti night out youll always make nice new friends.
By the way, I didnt let him, just in case you were wondering.
Adrian Chiles, Presenter - BBCs The One Show, The Apprentice
Youre Fired and Match of the Day Two
I am a big fan of Indian spices and any smell that gets my mouth
watering when Im starving is ne by me!
Shefali Oza, Weather Presenter -

Every now and then I treat myself and my family to a curry
and the whole experience of going for a curry in an authentic
restaurant is fantastic the gorgeous aromas, the great
atmosphere and of course the delicious food. Its wonderful that
the Balti Triangle has become so well renowned for producing
some of the best curries around yet another thing that the city
of Birmingham can be extremely proud of.
Karren Brady, Managing Director -
Birmingham City Football Club
I love baltis my favourite is chicken and mushroom.
I like going to balti restaurants because I thoroughly
enjoy soaking up the buzz and the atmosphere truly
exhilarating! I chose a balti restaurant for my ftieth
birthday party celebration (quite a few years ago
now!) so I think that says it all. Mind you, the owner
served up a volcanic cocktail for me afterwards that
nearly nished me off!
Nick Owen, Presenter -
BBC Midlands Today
the famous
Birmingham
Balti Triangle
We cant promise trade secrets but here is a recipe that even a balti beginner can try at
home. Just remember to get your spices when you visit the Balti Triangle for a more
authentic favour and at a fraction of what you could pay at the supermarket!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp groundnut oil
1 spanish onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, grated
1cm piece ginger, grated
2 chicken breasts cut into pieces (vegetables
such as onion, okra, ne beans, broccoli can be
used as substitutes)
chicken or vegetable stock
1 tsp tomato pure
salt, to taste
1 bay leaf
1 large tomato, sliced
1/2 tsp mustard seeds, crushed
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
4 curry leaves, dried and crushed
1 tsp palm sugar
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp nigella seeds
3 green chillies, chopped
4 whole cardamom pods, split
Method:
Heat the oil in a pan. When hot, add the mustard seeds and fry for 30 seconds on high heat. Add
the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes on medium heat until soft. Now add all the spices, garlic and
ginger and stir in. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat ensuring that they dont burn.
Cut the chicken into chunks. Add the meat and sugar and stir to coat thoroughly. Cook on
medium heat until meat is browned (about 10 minutes).
Add a stock cube to a 250ml of boiling water, add a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of tomato pure
and a bay leaf. Add to pan and cook on low heat for 25 minutes. After 10 minutes of cooking,
curry leaves and/or sliced green pepper can be added (after a further 10 minutes, sliced
mushroom can be added).
Add garam masala, fresh coriander and tomato to the pan, then cook on low heat for 3 minutes
and serve in balti dishes with roti or rice, or a delicious naan.
Chicken Balti is a traditional recipe for a classic chicken curry in a tomato-based sauce,
served in a balti dish. We hope you enjoy making and eating your own Chicken Balti.
