Balti is a type of curry. It has achieved cult status in the west in a remarkably short space of time. Indeed, the very word Balti is as alien to most of the peoples of the subcontinent, as was the curry when that word was coined long ago. Balti¹s origins, as with all such food, go back a long time. The northern-most part of the subcontinent is Pakistan¹s Kashmir, a part of which is called Baltistan.

Korma probably evolved from the Persian meat dish Koresh where only ghee or oil is used in the initial cooking with garlic, ginger, and onion. In India, the same initial method is used to cook Korma, though it varies when lamb or chicken is marinated in yogurt.

The Bhoona (or Bhuna) is the Hindi and Urdu term for the process of cooking a wet ground masala (spice mixture) or ground spice paste in hot oil, slowly frying out all the water content. It is the most important part of curry cooking since it is this process that removes the raw taste of the spices and releases the essential oils, creating that wonderful well-rounded taste that we expect of our curry, in which no one spice predominates the taste-buds.
