The word Balti refers to a steel pot. The curry along with roasted spices are made especially in this steel pot to enhance the flavors of the meat. This delicious meat dish can be served with naan or roti at family gatherings and events.

For the sauce: heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, sauté chopped onion until it turns light brown. Add beef boneless and stir fry until the color changes. Add ginger garlic paste in the meat and mix well.
