baltic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indian dish around some european countries' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'indian dish around' is the wordplay.
'indian dish' becomes 'balti' (I've seen this before).
'around' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'balti'+'c'='BALTIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baltic that I've seen before include "Coming from Tallinn, perhaps" , "Sea of northern Europe" , "The Sea around Scandinavia" , "Sea in N.Europe" , "Cab lit up the sea" .)
