An update on why the British Curry house is in decline. Can’t say I disagree.

It strayed further north than just Birmingham. We used to frequently eat at the Balti houses before my sister & brother we born.Balti? I think that's a Pakistani/Birmingham dish.
Yep / some say its origin is in Baltistan, others say it's a "North Indian dish prepared in a wok-like pan called a balti, and others claim it doesn't exist in Pakistan or India, and was invented in Birmingham in 1977.It strayed further north than just Birmingham
By the early 80's it had made its way to Stoke On Trent, or more accurately Hanley. We grew up with a large Pakistani community there and my ex-step father ran a lawyers office just up the road, specialising in legal aid and family/childcare law (the irony doesn't miss me given the other threads!). They were one of the few places that we could eat as a family because they did so vegetarian balti, so I could eat with the family and they did mild baltis that my brother c/would eat.Yep / some say its origin is in Baltistan, others say it's a "North Indian dish prepared in a wok-like pan called a balti, and others claim it doesn't exist in Pakistan or India, and was invented in Birmingham in 1977.
I don’t think it’s possible for curry to die, it tastes too good.Curries will never die in my family. Every one loves it. I make pretty authentic curries. I make my own garam masala.
