Musikstan to Baltistan!

I went to a world music event at the Old Print Works in the Balti Triangle. Billed as Musikstan, the musicians from Mali and India were outstanding.

Food on offer included an excellent parsnip and coconut curry.  As I tucked into mine I got chatting to a woman probably in her thirties who seemed fairly well read/ clued in and lived locally.

To my dismay as we discussed food, she hadn’t a clue what an authentic Balti was. Needless to say she does now and has promised to give Shababs a whirl.

All part of the Balti Awareness programme!!
