Part of the traditional Balochi cuisine, Rosh is a popular choice for meat lovers. It is an aromatic and flavorful stew made by cooking the meat in salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger on slow heat. Since it is cooked on low heat, it gives the meat a tender, juicy flavor infused with spices. Serve it with hot naan or roti, and enjoy the soupy textured stew.  

5.Ka’ak

Last up from our list of uncommon Pakistani cuisine is Ka’ak. Interestingly, it looks similar to a donut and is another Balochi recipe. The natives also call it Patthar ki roti and make it into a tandoor. Baking it in the tandoor, you can see the slow-rising dough and smell a sweet, yeasty aroma filling the atmosphere.

Add bread flour, yeast, powdered milk, and sesame seeds to your ingredients, and voila, you have the essentials to make the traditional Patthar ki roti. Once your bread is done, get ready to delve into the soft, crunchy sesame-smothered layer. Lastly, serve it with hot tea to double the fun.
