What is Balti Karahi Bhuna cooking?

Balti Bhuna and Karahi are interchangeably used for a pan-frying style of cooking

In Hindi, Balti means a bucket. This has nothing to do with the origin of the cooking style term known as Balti. The Balti refers to regional cooking of Baltistan, an old kingdom in northern part of Kashmir. Balti cooking is done in a pan called Karahi. Karahi is a heavy cast-iron wok-like pan with two ears on opposite sides as handles. The food is basically stir-fried to a dry-stew consistency. The stir-frying process in Hindi is called Bhuna. The cooking resembles Szechwan (China) and Tibetan style stir-frying. The spices used are Moghul style for aroma and flavor.
Balti, Bhuna and Karahi  are interchangeably used as cooking style terms. I guess it's a matter of regional pride. Kashmir people like to call it Balti, Punjabi like to call it Karahi, and Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan like to call it Bhuna. These dishes are differentiated by a few regional spices.
