20. The word is found in Hindi, Odia and Bengali, and has the same meaning as a word
developed from the Portuguese 'balde' that 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 India.
Some origins of the word can be traced to an area in northern Pakistan, where a cast-
iron wok, similar to the Chinese wok, is used for cooking.
Some believe that a style of cooking associated with this word originated in 1977 in a
restaurant called Adil's. At that time, the restaurant was located in Stoney Lane,
Sparkbrook, and after some time relocated to another area, but since has returned to
its original place, leading to the area being called a triangle, which even sought an EU
application for copyrighting this.

Arrayed with verdant hills plaited like waves,
Thy sky ringing with choirs of singing birds,
O Mother! Mother! Mother!"
