    I’ve still got Andy’s original pocket book guide of Birmingham Balti restaurants, it must be 25-30 years old now.

    I'm drooling! I started cooking 'Indian' in the mid 80s with Pat Chapman's book - still love the food, Balti being my usual go to dish. Mr Dave's in Lye was legendary.

    Absolutely fantastic review. Very informative. I'm from Dudley which isn't too far from Birmingham so the influence is here too. Shout out to the Balti King. I'm going to order that book also how do I order a couple of those balti pans?

    • @wedmoreblue
      @wedmoreblue 3 роки тому +3

      Look up The Birmingham Balti Bowl Co. for the online site to order the balti pans. They also do a wooden stand that the balti sits in as the idea is to eat the curry directly from the balti.
      You can also buy the book on the same site.

    Gutted that I wasn't aware you were coming to Birmingham. Next time you're down here you need to try the chicken donner from Al Shazans on Stratford Rd in Sparkhill. Then Kurd naan junction which is 1 minute away(Formans road) to try their keema naan and chicken naan(You wont be able to get your head around the prices) and then a 5 minute walk(down Stratford rd) to Hajees to try their Mexican burger

    as a Brummie who has had many baltis at the balti triangle,your only mistake was using a spoon.the naan is the spoon,you dont eat them with a spoon. i do hate seeing batis/curries on a plate being eaten with a knife and fork 😅, to quote NEO from the MATRIX... "There is no spoon"

    Balti & Indian cuisine in the U.K. is about as Indian as Spag boll to Italians. Don’t know why, having been in Asia the food is amazing, doesn’t compare to the slop sold in the U.K.

    • @craigdonald551
      @craigdonald551 2 роки тому +5

      I’ve lived in Asia for over 20 years and been to many countries there and eaten from food stalls to 5 star restaurants and nothing I’ve had in that time tasted as good as the Balti Chicken Saag I had in Adils in 1981.

    • @scottanderson3751
      @scottanderson3751 Рік тому +1

      I’ve lived in England my entire life but grew up with a Pakistani uncle and goat curry… …I started making curry about 20 years ago and made many dishes from Asia (my wonton soup is OP,not just curry) so noticed certain ingredients stuck with specific regions and that was that but I enjoyed them all so combined all I knew into one “super curry” which (ovi with boiled egg/peas 😉) without doubt it’s the best thing I ever eaten in England by far ✌️
