The word Balti, meaning 'bucket', was originally derived from “balde”, the Portuguese word for 'pail' or 'bucket'. According to scholars, the word Balti can be traced back to Northern Pakistan’s Baltistan, where a cast-iron pan similar to the woks used by the Chinese is employed for cooking traditional dishes. These dishes are easily identified by the pot’s round-bottomed shape and two rounded handles. While some Balti are suited to cooking, this one also has been designed in a decorative fashion for serving dishes at the table.
