Mild, medium or hot. Balti is a type of Kashmiri curry, orginating centuries ago in this area know as Baltisan, which we now know as North Pakistan. Balti cooking owes much to China, where it resembles the spicy cooking of Szechuan & Tibet, famous with moghui emperors for its aromatic spices of Kashmir, the taste is both simple in its cooking & yet complex in its flavours. Balti cooking swept Britain in the 90's as tandoori did some 20 years ago. Special mixed contains chicken, prawn & beef.
Medium. Contains nuts. A special blend of spices fried with basmati rice to provide a dish of medium strength & a drier consistency to that of a curry. Served with curry sauce.
