Info Balti Dishes: Balti is the name given to curry dishes that originated in northeast Pakistan, formerly known as Baltistan. According to tradition, they are cooked in a cast-iron balti pan with two handles (‘karahi’), which resembles a wok. Any heavy casserole is suitable as a substitute. Traditional balti dishes are slightly oily.
