WE MEET THE BALTI KING IN BIRMINGHAM!

[@doofus4648]

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

[@wedmoreblue]

Fantastic to see a balti being cooked! Those flames!! “Balti tornado” 🔥🔥🔥

[@brothersman524]

Shababs is my favourite restaurant on Ladypool Road

[@craigm72]

Chef is a legend Tell he’s a master of his craft Great vid 👍

[@lliving4today]

Well done for having this fella on ...a gem!

[@waynethomas4728]

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.

[@ronlegend2526]

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

[@weeddegree]

Good place to start a documentary series Matt, good people in brum

[@anthonymurray4389]

Doing Birmingham Proud, Balti is the best by far 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@searlek]

This was brilliant. Really informative on a form of curry I've loved for years in a city I was proud to call home and miss terribly. Hope you do more of these types of video!

[@Hairbyben]

Listening in i the guy hocking a loogy a min before the end. Looks like great food.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[@rhymezeerhymes_music]

Great watch again, feeling to jump on the train few bevvies and a curry ❤

[@baseman2002]

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]

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.

[@baseman2002]

@@wedmoreblue Thank you

[@kenkeneth]

[@stoopeydaboopee6686]

Quality content in this video top class

[@secondcitytech]

Shababs - Number 1, I have been visiting weekly for years.

[@Hardspace1979]

Gotta have a garlic naan with it surely!

[@brumsgrub8633]

Used to be a pub on that corner you did the intro, and they would bring your beer to you across the road when you was in shabbab

[@webbzz91]

Birmingham is the SECOND CITY!!!!!

[@decone2674]

Clever man

[@nitrous190]

Top Drawer Content !!!!!!

[@jonh6912]

I’m impressed at how he managed to string out banging on about the difference between a wok and a balti bowl 😂

[@UMEK12]

Good video 👍 Great insight in Balti curry

[@Coventry268]

Big up to Brum and the Baltiverse

[@astongrad930]

Educational and engaging, great episode

[@markriley5863]

[@markfasey9201]

Was it a 10/10 matt and jess ??? Looked the rollox 🤪

[@mrcampbell4611]

Great video Matt

[@robjessop5864]

…great vid… that food looked absolutely delicious…!!!

[@jasonsweb1]

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"

[@dancrowley7240]

great vlog Matt cheers

[@stuartrich2499]

Brilliant vlog....I will have to try one!!

[@nadirjurgenklopp3352]

[@brentleech7758]

[@KhanKhan-lw8fw]

Fantastic informative video matt

[@iqbaljunaid1]

Daniel from Rate my takeaway was just here

[@elroyvanderley6460]

Wow, your voice wasn't ruined here yet!

[@jaydemalone6003]

I love my curry's I'm the curry queen not curry i would go for bit mild .love chansi.or south Indian .madrass .but great review

[@grahambeard3925]

brill guys i loved this......i love a good balti 🤩

[@robblakey8611]

A taxi driver once told me to ask for a curry from a chef “ APNA” style I think he said

[@baqarhussain81]

Apna means our. Basically your asking them to cook it for the Pakistani taste buds.

[@chippy3350]

Unfortunately there aren’t many balti restaurants left particularly in Ladypool Road, most are grill restaurants, burgers etc, younger Asians in brum are getting fed up with eating curries so the demise of restaurants

[@billow9721]

Thanks Andy you are a true Brum

[@Tokyomodeldetective]

Audio on the guest is low! You need clip on mics

[@saltypopcorn2708]

Great video.

[@chillee2531]

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]

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]

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 ✌️

[@mikehunt4018]

And that was a documentary 😎

[@MrNshaukat]

If your in Birmingham. Try out a hidden gem called “ Hen Ko” on Stratford road hall green. Their peri grill chicken better than Nando’s. And the pizza are great aswell

[@mishalpatel7446]

Love it! More Indian food reviews!

[@chippy3350]

Where do you get those balti pots from

[@FoodReviewClubUK]

Believe he has a website!

[@raftonpounder6696]

It shows you the link in the video! Try watching it!

[@craigfloyd5111]

Like a wok 😂 u need to get that haaayyyyyy

[@pusman1350]

Top video

[@stevehaworth7124]

Who honked up at the end lol

[@sp610]

I thought I heard that as well. In a kitchen too.🤢

[@sohailali2139]

If the curry is made without its own base sauce its not the one

[@VishalDubey]

That's a kadhai, balti is a bucket

[@billy2rivers1]

Frank skinner on frc.

[@Brummieck]

Quality

[@SK-kh2rs]

Unreal video

[@colinclane9637]

I'm sorry when he used the base in the balti that's cheating

[@user-sc2ps3vg4b]

Im struggling. Why are you eating it like its a hot pot. Gets some Nan or rice.

[@SajidHussain-lj5mr]

Eye lyke Kurrie !

[@danieloconnell6722]

Fuck me my mouth watering deniftly go there

[@kasper52173]

👍🏾

[@steveparadox1]

I'm not sure that all Balti bowls should be flat bottomed. Traditionally they are rounded

[@richardhindmarsh939]

Not even the same sport ! Birmingham baltis rule!

[@JohnSmith-qs1in]

shababs is vile, the food was way to salty and swimming in gee.

[@danbreen6946]

He Did Rattle On A Bit

[@antonafsar6412]

Oii Oii

[@TonyMontana-zl8pz]

Drive past it on a Friday Saturday night, all english faces in the place says it all, if Pakistanis ain't dining at a Pakistani joint says it all

[@tahirmahmood6316]

Love watching white people making curry and telling us it's a English dish lol

[@leemc5646]

They mean westernised, they aren't authentic dishes are they?

[@raftonpounder6696]

It wasn’t a British person making it.
