Our Balti curry spice blend is a unique aromatic combination that takes its name from Balti cuisine. Originating from northern India and Pakistan, Balti curry is slightly hotter than traditional curry. This blend is characterized by a palette of rich and complex flavors, creating a taste experience that excites the taste buds. The main ingredients of balti curry usually include spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and chilli. Each of these elements brings its own dimension of flavor to the overall composition. Cumin and coriander provide an earthy, citrusy base, while ginger adds zesty warmth. Cardamom and cinnamon contribute a subtly sweet and floral note, creating a harmonious balance. Black pepper adds a touch of heat, while clove offers a slightly sweet and peppery nuance. In cooking, balti curry is often used to season meat, fish or vegetable dishes, giving a deep and delicious flavor to preparations. A balti is cooked using vegetable oil rather than clarified butter, ghee, over high heat in a stir-fry style. This versatile spice blend captures the very essence of Balti cuisine, providing a rich and authentic culinary experience.
