I've been to India numerous times and you can for sure find dishes that your average British Indian restaurant goer would recognize in eateries of Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad, including the stewy 'curries' which are widely known outside which many think of when they hear 'Indian Food'.
Of course the menu of 'Ashish Balti' in Birmingham will be only partially representative of the vast array of India's dishes but many things on that menu are absolutely found in India.
