The main difference between Balti and curry is how it is served. Ingredients for Balti are prepared basically the same as for curry. However, over the past ten minutes, the contents are cooked at high temperatures in a kind of flat-bottomed wok, which gives the dish its name: Balti.
Balti curry gets its name from the Balti type of cuisine, which is made in a thin skillet that resembles a steel wok. It is traditionally made with lamb or goat meat and cooked over high heat in vegetable oil with a mixture of garlic, onion, garam masala and turmeric.
When I cook Balti chicken,usually i like a hot spicy dish. If you want, you can add a little sugar and less chili powder. Even if you like, you can add capsicum to Balti chicken. Hope you enjoy this exotic beautiful dish.
