Balti cuisine, famed for tickling the taste buds in Birmingham's
celebrated 'Balti triangle' and a popular match day pie variety at
soccer grounds across the country, has now been teamed with a great
British favourite, baked suet pudding. New Chicken Balti Pudding is
the latest addition to the best-selling Great British Pudding Company
range and offers a tasty, authentic, curry filling, in a
rib-sticking, golden suet crust. At 370g, it is a man-sized portion
and can be microwave reheated from frozen in 6 minutes, with spices
like cumin, cardamom and coriander, as well as kalonji seeds in the
crust, contributing to a true Balti taste.
Aimed at the foodservice sector and chip shop trade, the Great
British Pudding Company has been developed by frozen foods producer
Glendale into an increasingly attractive brand, progressively finding
its way onto pub, club, restaurant and canteen menus. Supplied pre-baked
and quick frozen, the product delivers the eye appeal of crisp,
golden suet pastry and an appetising plated appearance, in a
convenient, no-prep format.
Adding to popular GBPC varieties like Steak & Kidney, Lamb &
Mint and award-winning Steak, Mushroom & Ale, Glendale now adds
spicy, exotic Chicken Balti, tweaking a successful formula to
introduce a unique Anglo-Asian flavour. Perfected in Glendale's own
development kitchen, the recipe features chunky chicken breast meat,
marinated and cooked in an authentic curry sauce that will be
appreciated by Balti lovers.
Echoing an ingredient commonly added to traditional naan flatbreads,
small black kalonji seeds have been introduced to the suet crust to
create a distinctly flavoured pastry. Prized for their nutlike,
somewhat peppery taste, kalonji seeds have an oniony aroma, adding to
the Balti experience.
In common with other varieties, Chicken Balti puddings come in 8 x
370g trade packs and special 3-for-2 offers are often available
through wholesale distributors. Competitive trade pricing usually
offers realistic menu mark-ups of £4-5 per serving and Glendale
provides free table talkers promoting the Great British Pudding
Company range, for foodservice operators and the fish & chip
trade. For staff training, there is also a handy leaflet explaining
how to serve up a piping hot pudding in just three steps and six minutes. |
