A few years ago I brought a book "The Balti Secrets of the Birmingham Balti Company" by Janet & Peter Lardner.Never cooked from it and pretty much forgot about it until I discovered this great site recently.
Has anyone else got this??? If so what was the results???
Very similar in layout to Kris Dhillon's book,it gives a recipe for the basic balti sauce (incl.fenugreek leaves & green cardamons),however the sauce also contains a balti masala blend which gives the sauce 'That Authentic Balti Flavour'.This spice actually has 17 different whole and ground spices!!
It seems one of the authors used to teach Balti cookery in the area,together they had a mail order business but they seem to have disappeared completely...
After the initial spice mix and balti sauce is made it looks very easy...Very tempted to have a go...
