When I was a salesman back in the 90s, I made a disproportionate number of rather unnecessary sales calls to Birmingham, and always ate in various Balti houses in Sparkbrook – got quite pally with one of the waiters in
The King’s Paradise who explained this to me in detail. I seem to remember him saying that, while “balti” indeed means bucket, it didn’t translate literally, and referred in practice to a wok. I have no idea if this is true or not, and didn’t care much – I was too busy stuffing my face
