Balochistan Foods

[aikzhobi]

In Balochistan, Pakistan two major tribes are Baloch and Pakhtoon. Pakhtton area consist Chaman, Pashin, Zhob, Loralai, Killa saifulla, Ziarat, Harnai and some other small cities. While Baloch area is Khuzdar, Makran, Kharan, Turbat, Naushki, Mashkel and other some small cities.
Pakhtoon's of this region and Baloch are different in language but have some similarities like food choice, religious thought and some other. So I am sharing some famous foods of the Balochistan Province.

1. Khaddi (کھڈی)





2. Sajji (سجی)





3. Landhi (لاندھی)





4. Rosh (نمکین گوشت)



5. Afghani Plao

Man I'm a sucker for good Sajji. We got excellent Sajji spots on Burns Road in Karachi.

An explanation of what they are would be nice.

As an aside, are Baloch Pakhtoons native or Afghan immigrants ?.

Rosh comes in two flavors, doesn't it? There is Torr (black) and Spin (white) rosh. Also isn't khaddi also called dampukht, or is that something else?

Another Balochistan dish is called khroot (at least if I remember correctly). It uses dried yoghurt, which turns into a hard, almost stone-like thing, to preserve it, and then its added to meat etc. There's also Chamman's famous breakfast of piping hot naan, fresh butter and tea, and Quetta's sheer yakh, the handmade ice cream.

Northern Balochistan (north of Quetta) is majority Pakhtun, and they're native.

Actually Pakhtoons are in three regions. IN KPK, in Afghanistan and in Balochistan. Pakhtoons of Balochistan are native.

Thanks bro.
I am from Zhob, Balochistan. Here in weddings we serve "Rosh". This is briny meat.
And images of khuddi in my post are images of my own visit of "shinghar". We say it here "Khadi". Baloch and Afghan say it "Dumpukht". Both are same

Thanks. I had a number of classmates from Balochistan, and they were an incredibly diverse bunch. Apart from Pakhtun and Baloch, there was one Hazara, and one guy who said he was Agazai, and spoke Farsi. So I ended up being familiar with a number of these dishes.

One of the Pakhtuns was a Kakar, but he said his mother was a "Durrani Baloch." This was the first time I had heard that, I had always assumed the Durranis/Abdalis were a Pakhtun confederacy, and some of the Durrani tribes were considered Afghan royals. I asked him how a Baloch could be a Durrani, and he went into a detailed explanation, which I don't remember too much of, but it was fascinating how one could be Durrani and Baloch at the same time.

Nostalgic, I can make it easy for you. May be the father is a Durrani pashtun and mother a Baloch One simplistic way of looking at it lol

Nope, it wasn't as simple as that.

I kind of realised that

Anyways, this thread makes me so hungry. I long for the day when I set out from Northern Pakistan on a motorbike and drive to the southern parts of the country. Stopping over to try the different food
