Balti Mix (Balti Masala)

Balti mix is a ground spice blend used to make a balti curry, a rich, thick curry of onions, tomatoes and meat or vegetables. It is also sold as balti masala. Home cooks use it to get the classic takeaway-style balti taste without measuring out a dozen separate spices.

What Balti Mix Tastes Like

Balti mix gives a curry a warm, savoury, spiced flavour with a deep colour. Balti is a British Indian favourite linked with Birmingham. The curry is traditionally cooked fast in a round, two-handled pan and served bubbling hot with naan.

The sauce is usually thick and clings to the meat or vegetables. Fresh ginger, garlic, tomatoes and coriander leaves are the usual partners for the spices.

Ways to Use Balti Mix

Balti mix works best as the base spice in a one-pan curry. Here are some common ideas:

  • Chicken balti with onions, peppers and tomatoes
  • Lamb balti cooked slowly until tender
  • Paneer or chickpea balti for a meat-free dinner
  • Mixed vegetable balti with potato, cauliflower and peas
  • Prawn balti, added near the end so the prawns stay soft

How to Cook a Balti Curry at Home

A balti curry starts by frying onions, ginger and garlic in oil until soft. Add the balti mix next and stir it for about a minute so the spices cook and smell fragrant. Then add chopped tomatoes and your main ingredient.

Let the curry simmer until the sauce is thick. Finish with a handful of chopped fresh coriander. Check the ingredients list on this page for salt before you season, then taste and adjust at the end.

Balti Mix FAQ

Do I need to fry balti mix before adding liquid?

Yes, frying balti mix in hot oil for about a minute gives a fuller flavour. Keep the heat moderate and stir all the time so the spices do not burn.

Can I use balti mix for anything other than curry?

Yes, balti mix can season roast potatoes, grilled chicken or a vegetable tray bake. Mix a small amount with oil first so it coats the food evenly.

What is the difference between balti mix and garam masala?

Balti mix is a blend made for a specific curry, while garam masala is usually stirred in near the end as a finishing spice. Many cooks use both in the same dish.

Add balti mix to your basket ready for your next homemade balti night.
