How to Make Balti Gosht: English – Urdu Recipe
Balti cuisine became known throughout the UK. But its origins are among the cuisine of an ethnic group living in the Baltistan region of northern Pakistan who are called Balti.
Alternatively, ‘Balti’ food is named after the pot in which it is cooked. That origin of the word is to do with the Urdu and Hindi word Balty, which means “bucket.” You can make Balti gosht with chicken or mutton.
