TGFC Kitchen Dining - My Forgotten Baloch by Priya Jham on 7 August 2016

TGFC (The Gourmet Food Co) is bringing you an exquisite culinary experience this Friendships Day which entails recreating recipes from a Bhagnari community of Baluchistan that lived in the twin villages of Bhag and Nari . The chef Priya Jham is a second generation from this community that migrated from Baloch to Karachi and finally to Mumbai during partition.

My Forgotten Baloch

The Bhagnari community emerged from two villages called Bhag and Nari in what is today called Balochistan and moved to the Bhagnari pada in Karachi many many years ago.The language known simply as Bhagnari is strikingly similar to Saraiki spoken in the border areas of Sindh and Punjab. During the partition in 1947, they left by ships and migrated to Bombay to set up colony here. Often generalized with the Sindhis , the Bhagnaris still consider themselves a distinct community and are trying their best to preserve if not revive their cultural identity in what may be called a fast diminishing diaspora.
