Unseen BALTI Food in Turtuk - Last Border Village of India I भारत के आखिरी गांव में बलतस्तानी व्यंजन

Turtuk, nestled amidst the grandeur of the Himalayas, was once a part of Gilgit Baltistan under Pakistan's control until 1971. Following a significant turn of events, found place on the Indian map overnight. This northernmost village of India boasts of lush green fields, meandering streams, vibrant flowers and a community steeped in the Balti heritage originating from Gilgit Baltistan.
in the last leg of our Ladakh Food Tour, we had the privilege of joining Rashidullah, a spirited hospitality entrepreneur from the region for a farm to table Balti food experience at one of his restaurant The Balti Farm. His professional journey began with a leading Japanese beverage firm but he returned to his homeland after a short stint and started his own enterprise in the hospitality sector with the Turtuk Holiday Resort.
The outdoor setup resembling a traditional home kitchen. Under the expert hands of Zanab ji, the menu came to life with classics like baleh, kissir, tukbo papa, grangthur, moskot and phading, each dish a testament to the region's rich culinary heritage.
The food, though simple, resonated deeply, speaking volumes about the resilient spirit of Turtuk's inhabitants. Every bite transported us deeper into the unique flavors and traditions of Balti cuisine.
In the evening we convened once more beside the crackling wood-fired oven to craft the iconic chorbat biryani, a regional delicacy. Rashidullah, with a gleam of nostalgia, unveiled his cherished family recipe. This rendition boasted a subtle elegance, characterized by the absence of aromatic spices and an abundance of seasonal vegetables and fragrant herbs.
Amidst the aroma of this biryani, Rashidullah and his childhood friend, Ali, shared fond recollections associated with this dish. Not only was the biryani light and flavourful it was a testament to Rashidullah's remarkable cooking prowess. The absence of overpowering spices allowed the natural taste of the ingredients to shine through.

[@ankit7343]

Most underrated video. Lovely people and unique life😊😍

[@delhifoodwalks]

You are so kind

[@rashmidattani3117]

From materialism to simplicity... from modular to basic, seated, open kitchen... from instant n packaged food to farm fresh warm meals... :) It feels wonderful to see this outdoor setup, and meticulous cooking skills... along with a lot of admiration for those who ve made this initiative to bring to the notice of people, the culture they grew up with... It s true, one is blessed with longevity n good health wen unadulterated habits are cultivated, where food is prime... Also, it's well said that laughter s the best medicine. 😊

[@shivangbhanushali3342]

Zenab mam ko khana banate hue dekh kar mujhe meri nani maa yaad aa gayi. Pehle aise hi chulhe ke pass baith kar garma garam khane serve hota rehta tha.uss waqt ye dinning table wala system nahi hota tha. Kaaaaaash wo din wapas aa jaye

[@Farhaan_Enigmatic]

Masha'Allah ❤ Great job Delhi food walks.

[@proudtobeaninfidelkafirand7471]

I have a 70's landrover offroad. Is there road connectivity connecting Turtuk to Wakhan Corridor, Afganistan? I need to make a roadtrip to Dushanbe, Tajikstan.

[@rinchendolkar1919]

No, brother we ladakhis are totally cut off from our old neighbours after the independence. All 3 places neigbouring Ladakh are more or less disputed parts of their respective countries( Xinjiang & Tibet of China, Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan and the buffer zone of Wakhan of Afghanistan). So, crossing of borders by road is just a dream, as all borders around Ladakh are highly militarized.

[@maimoonamehmood8419]

Nice ❤

[@manojkaushik2148]

Idhar to jana padega !!!

[@sanjaypriyadarshi]

Buckwheat is millet and in a desi term known as Kuttu and widely eaten in many states.

[@sanjaypriyadarshi]

I have tried yak cheese and it's very difficult to eat because of the very strong smell.

[@MyshaaKhan]

True it was Pakistan and i miss every inch of it 😢

[@TimepassKeeda]

Extremely nice, healthy food, culture, environment, simplicity, cultured (though remote), mahemaan Nawaaz, whatever I can express would be less.❤

[@Sakksham-h6p]

Looks insanely delicious and made kindly with love. Compare these true muslims to netanyahu or modi-shah or chapri PPL breaking vehicles in gujrati right now and tell me muslims are cruel and have no honour.
