The association wants to the curries to receive the status of a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed product (TSG). If granted, it would mean that only curries conforming to a precise specification can use the name Birmingham Balti.
TSG status could give curries produced in the so-called Balti Triangle a big marketing advantage. The area south of Birminghams city centre includes one of the nations highest concentrations of Balti curry houses. The city is said to be the birthplace of the Balti.
