Balouchi - Cooking and Food

Overview of Balouchi Cuisine History

[[Image:||right|thumb|]]

Balouchi Cuisine is not a dominant cuisine in the country, but is certainly one of the integral cuisines. Without it, we would not have many of the mutton and roast dishes. Balouchi cuisine is not mainstream cuisine, yet you will find a lot of Balouchi types of food in other provinces. Particular, the coal-cooked foods are Balouchi, and these are commonly associated with other cuisines.

Balouchi cuisine is influenced by pre-partition India, other provinces of Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Indeed, the techniques employed for cooking have largely come through Afghani cooking experiences.

The spices that are used in Balouchi cuisine have come from various influences, and the selected ones lend a unique aroma to Balouchi food. Hand-ground spices are the most commonly used ones here in Balouchi food. Dishes like Mushqi Murgh Ki Boti and chicken are cooked from a blend of herbs and spices that are not used in other parts of the country. Just like several other cuisines have experimented and developed better ideas for improved flavors this has been the case for Balouchi food too. In addition to this, it is interesting to mention the folklore of Balouchi food. This story holds that the princess of Balouchistan, Amina, who eloped with her lover, Imtiaz, would cook food for him. She experimented and tried out newer ways to improve taste to fascinate him. The idea of making kababs comes from this story, as she attempted various forms of marinating mutton and baking it on stone and in sand.

Food such as pork is certainly not a part of Balouchi cuisine because of religious reasons. However, Balouchi cuisine mostly consists of meat. Mutton is the most popular of these, and there are a variety of dishes that are made from mutton. However, this is not to say that other meats are hardly used. Chicken and beef are also commonly used, and there are also a number of lentils and vegetables that are an important part of Balouchi cuisine.
