''Balti'', as a food, is named after the steel or iron pot in which it is cooked, similar to a [[karahi]] from the same region.<br />
The word is found in [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]], [[Odia language|Odia]], and [[Bengali language|Bengali]], and means "bucket". The word developed from the Portuguese ''balde'', meaning bucket or pail, and traveled to the [[Indian subcontinent]] via the Portuguese seafaring enterprises of the early 16th century. The word likely made its way into the English language during the time of [[British Raj|British India]].</div>FuzzyBot
