A few clips of my visit to Shababs, talking about ther base gravy, cooking a naan, and chatting with Andy Munro about the history of Balti.
The Birmingham Balti (BB) is a style of cooking that evolved in the 1970s and was massively popular in the 80's and 90's and has since maintained a large fan base. There's something special in the way an authentic BB is cooked - on a high flame in a thin and squat pressed steel bowl in which it is also served. Scoop it up with a naan and you're in Balti paradise.
This video is part of series of videos I'm publishing about authentic Balti.

went to shababs last night with Isha, a friend of the management team, had a great curry, probably one of the best we have had, well done and keep up the good work
I went to Shababs a few times and to be honest their food was really good. The one thing that interests me was the opening hours of the restaurant as they're open from 12pm to 5am on weekends and 3am on weekdays.
Wish we had balti houses in Newcastle
Really enjoy that
Wicked one of the best you have done, quite different and interesting.
Very interesting thanks
You’re making me hungry now,I need some curry 😜👍Nice one guys.
Very interesting about the whole spices Richard 👌🏻
Iv never wanted a balti so much!
Brilliant content and very informative. If no one as purchased these balti bowls i can recommend them 👌👍
They're good, but quite expensive. I remember buying a couple of Balti bowls from a shop in Ladypool road (very close to Shababs) for about £3 each. I tried to buy some more a few years ago and couldn't find any. I ended up paying about £20 for a "Birmingham Balti Bowl". I recently bought a couple of Balti bowls from a seller on eBay for under £20, and they're better than the Birmingham Balti Bowl in my opinion (slightly larger flat base, and not imprinted letters).
OK young man. It's time you did a new book on balti recipes. I have balti cooking bowls. So just waiting for recipes. Oh.... Really good video
I'm working on some balti related recipes Ian. Coming soon.
I have seen balti's in a number of restaurants in India as well
ive got a couple of proper balti bowls which i purchased over 30yrs ago from lozells when i used to eat at Azims in lozells, i would never ever scour a balti bowl ..! always wash afterwards in warm soapy water ....
is there a list somewhere of proper balti houses in Birmingham?
Hi misty, I wonder if you could advise? I’ve been toying with a Baltic dish, but not sure why some advise to buy cast iron, but this video thin steel is best? Why would they make cast iron balti pans if they are not best?
Thanks again mate 🥂
Thin pressed steel for speed of cooking and smoky flavour, suitable and ideal for balti restaurants.
@@MistyRicardo thanks very much for taking the time to reply., it makes you wonder why so many make cast iron balti dishes.
Looks great where do you purchase the Shabab Balti bowl from ?
The Birmingham Balti Bowl Company
The Shababs Balti bowls are slightly different from the Birmgingham Balti Bowl Company ones. Both very good. I think you'd need to look at Shababs website to see how to get the former.
@@MistyRicardo Hey Richard, I was literally just trying my new Birmingham Balti bowl out for the first time when you posted this message. I’ve put the video on The Curry Secret FB group, just waiting approval. Would love to hear what you think 😄
Just received my Shabab’s bowl just need to season it and then onto cooking a curry can’t wait
@@tonywhiting6058 seasoned mine yesterday, nice and easy. I used the oven method. Enjoyed cooking with it today, crank the heat up for some nice flames 👍
I always take a scourer to my balti pan and then heat and then add a little oil. I would never use soapy water.
Can you please replicate their base gravy
I'm working on that 👍
Shababs has shared their recipe on the balt bowl comp website
I don't eat in places like these because Halal meat is used!
Most takeaway and restaurants use halal meat, I find it far better quality also
Is halal meat against your religion or your ethical values or what?
@@MrSamsuriwahid these uneducated people say things like that, yet couldn’t kill a animal to survive in the wild, braindead. I’m non muslin and have no issue with halal meat, clean and always very high quality
@@gedhuffadine5796 I spent a day in a abattoir as part of my chef diploma, you don’t want to visit one of them either ;)
And that matters to you for why?
