Hyat Syed, owner and founder of Balti House, is a native New Yorker who moved to Dublin in 1996 to take over the family resaurant business. While the restaurant was doing well, Hyat liked the idea of making authentic, restaurant quality, Indian dishes accessible to people who love Indian food but who don’t have the time to prepare and cook it in the traditional way. The Balti House range of convenient, ready-to-eat meals was born.

The word Korma in Persian derives from the Turkish verb for roasting/grilling of Azid (Kavurma). Korma has its roots in the cuisine of modern-day India and Pakistan.
The word Biryani is derived from the Persian word 'Birian'. In Farsi, Birian means 'fried before cooking'. Biryani originated in Persia and it is believed that it could have come from Persia via Afghanistan to North India.
Rogan Josh a traditional Indian dish, originated in Kashmir and is where the first Kashmir adoption of Rogan josh occurred. Rogan Josh comes from two words, Rogan in Persian means clarified butter and Josh means hot and passionate. It is therefore meat cooked in chillis and spices with clarified butter.
Jalfrezi is not a traditional Indian dish as such but is actually a method of cooking. It literally means 'hot-fry' but is probably better translated as 'stir-fry'.
