We Indians are simple people. A Balti is a bucket, nothing else.
The wok like dish is a Karahi, small versions of which Indian restaurants in the UK may use to cook/serve a Balti dish.

Simply because we Indians blame the Pakistanis for everything. The Pakistanis do the same in reverse. It's tradition..
I think an Indian dish served by a restaurant run by a Pakistani would be more OEM-Q than OEM Indian. No one knows its origin or constituents but it looks fine and some would swear that it tastes authentic (or OEM if you prefer).
