Go for a curry in Birmingham’s Balti Triangle

Pork pies are available in Melton Mowbray. Cheese is available in Wensleydale. Birmingham also has balti. This version of curry, invented by the city's Pakistani minority in the 1970s, ranks with Peaky Blinders, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, and the Industrial Revolution as one of Birmingham's most renowned exports. Spice connoisseurs go from all over the world to experience the UK curry capital's baltis, thalis, and dosas. Head to the famed 'Balti Triangle,' which is located southeast of the city center near Balsall Heath, to find a large concentration of curry establishments selling delectable foods from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

More than 100 balti cottages draw 20,000 visitors every week. Birmingham's 'Balti Triangle,' which includes Sparkbrook, Balsall Heath, and Moseley, was even ranked No. 15 in the Rough Guide's '25s' series of the finest 25 travel experiences in Britain. There are around 50 eateries in the Triangle. Balti literally means "bucket," although it is normally served in a flat-bottomed wok.
