Come to India you will come to know the real Indian food. Curries aren't sweet and neither do we use cream in vegetable Currie nor in NonVeg. Always welcome 🇮🇳

[@Oldlard]

@@akashbhadouria6727 been to india. The food is a little different but I wouldn't say better. I would understand indian people saying its bad though, it's exactly like italians laughing at americans putting cream in carbonara. Both are nice, one is authentic. That said, there are a lot of restaurants now in the UK that make authentic indian curry. The competition is so high (there are over 100 indian restaurants within 1 mile of where I live) that quality has to be excellent or they go out of business and they do whatever they can to make themselves stand out.

[@1megavideoschannel]

the papadam is side dish which is generally eaten simultaneously with the main food, and the pickle which you ate is suppose to be eaten in very very small amount, you ate it with papadam in very big chunk, it is for tasting in side

[@antoinettefrance4953]

Imrans boy that took me back used to go there back in the mid 90s though back then we used to eat it straight from the bowl using a fork or spoon and the naan. I also like eating popadoms with any kind of curry, don't think it's the right thing to do but hey I like it. You should try a chapati if you find a naan too much. Come back soon

[@chrisw3771]

I grew up on that side of the city, I remember all you could get was Balti at in those resturants in the 70's (table naan is a must if they are doing them) I took my daughter who grew up there too & her icelandic boyfriend to Al Faisals in the next street on the same day! His reaction to spicey food was amusing..

The first pickle was lime pickle :)

[@christianbuczko1481]

It's disgusting. I was bet £5 to eat a pot of that once. I lost. As I was both hungry and short of cash as the time, I think it says alot about it. Mango chutney is the best by far and is very good with kebabs and tandoori chicken.

[@TheBaconWizard]

I would have walked away with the £5, no problem. Mango is ok, but so sickly sweet.

[@eponatwospirithorse4980]

Couple of tips 1. Eat with your hands. No need for a knife and fork with Indian food. They take the fun away. 2. Try making Keema yourself. The BBC Good Food website has a good recipe. Keema is cheap and easy to make.

Al Frash is my favourite balti place there, well worth a try if you're ever back in Birmingham! The minty flavour with the sauces was in the yoghurt on its own too. Mint yoghurt is really common in UK curry houses, and then the dark green paste was coriander (cilantro) mostly and sometimes with mint too.

Mmmmm - Lime pickle is my favourite. One thing I discovered when I visited New York - they, like the UK have the same idea about a 'standard' set of accompaniments when you order poppadoms - you might have noticed in the UK you always get lime pickle, cucumber raita, onions & cucumber and mango chutney. In New York's curry houses - they also all have the same accompaniments to their poppadoms - but they're different to ours, nice - just different. Was a pleasant change!

Lucas D actually the curry sold in the UK was developed/ adapted during colonial days to suit the English palate. The British like sauces so curry was less dry/ rice based.

[@bettybreeze78]

Aryan Girl1492 no I'm saying that the curries in the UK are specific to the UK because during Victorian times they were adapted to suit British tastes. The type of curry we get in the UK you don't get anywhere else. It's part of our colonial history!

[@electricfutures5850]

Balti Houses seemed to kick off big time in the Birmingham area in the late 1980s and early 90s. Then the concept spread around the UK and eventually you saw supermarkets selling Balti sauces and ready meals. Always thought it was strange buying the stuff in supermarkets because the whole point was the serving with a bowl and naan bread! No rice. The first Balti House I went to was on an invite from a friend. The tables had glass tops and the menu was sandwiched between the glass top and the wood table top!

[@GFSLombardo]

When I visited Birmingham "back in the day", my British friend took me to a "Balti House". Food was great and I was told BALTI cuisine originated in Pakistan and/or NW India, and somehow made it to Birmingham and later other parts of the Midlands and then the UK. Another story is that it originated in Birmingham itself by the immigrants from Pakistan/India. No one really knows for sure. But such is the role of the British Empire on food...

[@GFSLombardo]

Joshua, I advise my friends here in the USA and any one else planning to visit the UK to get out of London and MEET and TALK to the people in all the other parts of your great country- You will have a great time! I do every time I visit.

[@GFSLombardo]

Jay, you are right, London is, of course, a great world-class city. The point I was trying to make was that foreign visitors, after being on the usual "tourist trails" (you know what they are), should make a point to go out and visit the rest of Great Britain; including "Greater London", not always on the "standard tourist itineraries." So much to see and do in your country and the British people are some of the friendliest people I know (despite the stereotype "British reserve").

[@jaycobbina9529]

Gary L yes of course....ive lived in london 35 years and of course you do the main attractions...my perfect day out is a wLk along the Thames on a summers day preferbly with a couple of glasses of wine and lunch on a boat cafe or in Covent Garden....but equally im happy spending a few hours in the beautiful Gladstone Park two minutes from my home and plus its free to do so. If i exit london im off the my second favourit place which is exmouth ...for a day on the beach or sight seeing in discovering in Bath or city of Cambridge...i love it .

Jay, I am with you-in spirit! Whenever I visit my British friends I know that we do not always go to places on the well trod tourist trail. Its being able to have the "best of both worlds" that make me feel very lucky to be able to travel around your country. I am an unabashed Anglophile.

[@grvnvm6721]

My only apprehension is that when foreigners try Indian food for the first time, the impression about the dish that they cultivate and carry back with them ( either good or bad) is based on the cooking ability of chef. Not all chefs in restaurants are authentic or good in preparing Indian food. Some of them may ruin the whole thing and poor unaware customer who has eaten it for first time will go with an idea for ever that particular dish/ indian food taste horrible. In reality, however, that may or may not be the case. Like for example, keema ( minced meat) served here has good amount of veggies in it? Well i have had keema all my life ( at home and restaurants), but i have never seen it with so many vegetables. Its just a minced mutton dish. Also, the thing or the pot in which they are serving main course food is not even called Balti. Its one of the most common utensils used in Indian households and is called Kadaahi. Baalti on the other hand means bucket. It is much deeper cylindrical shaped (almost in the shape of a glass) with handle bar on it. Are you sure this place is really an Indian joint? I mean, who knows, may be its managed by our Pakistani or Bangladeshi friends?

[@spa-town1937]

eugeneluther I can’t speak for anywhere else in the world, but in Birmingham there is a dish called a Balti, and it’s served in the wok-shaped bowls. Those of us who’ve eaten it and enjoyed it for years and have happy memories of sharing them with friends in the Balti houses of Stoney Lane and Ladypool Road don’t really care if it’s authentic to anywhere else. The people who make it and sell it call it Balti, who are any of the rest of us to quibble?

[@Yorkcityknight]

Nearly always bread with Indian. There are actually very few regions of India that are major rice growing areas.

[@jaycobbina9529]

Not everyone eats rice lol...

[@Abinash91]

Expert here. ;) Patrick is actually correct. Locally, we eat those mild spice curries with 1 or 2 naans (or rotis, because naan can only be made with special ovens, not available in homes) and end it up with some rice, basically like 1 - 2 scoops of fresh rice on those big spoons. I use that because there is no way I am going to end all those vegetables so I end the contents of the balti along with some rice.

[@jaycobbina9529]

Yes but you dont HAVE to have rice

BIR Indian food is different from food in India... It is a British modification of Indian cuisine. It's actually so good, that many restaurants in India are now serving BIR food... It's also hotter... Although Balti is quite mild in either case.

[@sheikhyaboooty]

Twenty years ago I would have disagreed with you but having just got back from a three month visit I`d say you are correct.

[@stevecooksley]

My experience of Balti is that they are served in a small bucket with a lot more sauce than that. That's much better for dipping the naan bread in (by the way, try peshwari naan if you like to combine heat with sweet). What you got definitely needed rice, and perhaps a calorific onion bhaji - but that's my personal preference!

[@traceywilliams3187]

We Brummies (people from Birmingham UK) love a Balti. We usually eat it straight from the balti dish, using pieces of the naan bread to scoop the curry up. When your bread is all gone, you use the spoon to finish off what is left. The plate is just so that the waiter can carry the balti to you. The balti is also cooked in the dish it is served to you in.

Used to go to Saleems in the triangle in the 70s before it became sophisticated. They used to have a dustbin/garbage bin in the middle of the restaurant. Lovely grub, happy days

[@afifa8623]

That baalti looks like a kadaahi..😅

[@RM-vlogs717]

Afifa Bano hahaha.....Same thought......angrejo ko bewakoof bana raha hai....kadhai ko balti bol kar.....Enjoy the food 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sumitaggarwal9477]

Exactly........ I was thinking the exact same thing......"hame pta hai ye balti nahi hai, restaurant walo ko pta hai ye balti nahi hai....par in angrejo ko nahi pta ye balti nahi hai"

[@nabeelmohammedca]

Baalti means bucket right? kadai means Indian wok, that's what you see in this video.

[@rajeshshrivastav1384]

It is kadahai, they should know balti is actually a bucket.

Balti was created in Birmingham.

Yum!! Balti is SO British!

[@JuanKuzov]

nope curry in britain is nothing like in india sorry but its true

[@ghughesarch]

No, Balti in the UK is tailored to UK tastes, and the word comes from Portuguese balde, meaning a bucket, the Portuguese influence on India is often forgotten.

[@JuanKuzov]

Aryan Girl1492 nope balti dish invented in britain so lol at you

[@andrewdonaghy1248]

Curry is literally the national dish of Britain

[@JuanKuzov]

Aryan Girl1492 answer me this is pasta italian?

[@LeafLifeAndBriar]

Balti= Bucket (single big handle. flat bottom). what you guys got served in was 'handi' (a cooking dish with a curved bottom and two handles). Just to get the technical things aside. The food looks awesome.

[@firstfreonwarrior]

Hey guys, welcome here to stay, 20 mins from LHR, next time! Paul and Penny. x

[@lokischeissmessiah5749]

You should check out Hampshire next time! The birth place of the royal navy, the air force and the army, has the historic city of winchester, once the capital of the country, the old royal hunting grounds for william the conqueror, including the marked spot of one of his son's death from a hunting accident in the forest, and portsmouth has the historic dockyard, with a dredged up tudor warship, the first ironclad ship, and nelsons flagship HMS victory (from the battle of trafalgar). And it's right on the doorstep of the jurassic coast, wiltshire (salisbury and stonehenge) and the south downs national park!

[@eileenhaveron]

We went to the Historic Dockyard last August and the HMS Queen Elizabeth was in. Got a perfect view of the HMS Victory with the brand spanking new ship in the background. Was wonderful.

[@iloveanimals4081]

Sounds wonderful and I'm from the U.K.! 👍🏼😃

[@Dabble1984]

Great choice! Not forgetting Kingley Vale, just over the border into West Sussex, but just down the road, the oldest Yew Forest in Europe. Each tree planted where a warrior fell.

[@lokischeissmessiah5749]

I had no idea about this!

[@paulmoore4223]

Loki Scheissmessiah as a loyal yorkshireman i have to agree, Hampshire is one of my favourite places and love Portsmouth. Amazing things to do and see
