baltimore

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

'maryland port' is the definition.
'baltimore' can be an answer for 'port' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'maryland' bit.

'indian food increasingly' is the wordplay.
'indian food' becomes 'balti' (type of curry).
'increasingly' becomes 'more'.
'balti'+'more'='BALTIMORE'

'serving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
