While they are generalised as Sindhis, Mumbai is home to 2,500 residents who belong to the Bhagnari community, a distinct sub-caste of the Sindhis. One of them is Priya Jham, whose parents migrated to Mumbai from Karachi post-Partition. Over 27 years back, the 53-year-old chef, based in Mahim, started a catering company offering her community’s cuisine, which she now runs under Kitchens By Priya Jham with help from her son and bakery chef, Amit. This weekend, she will offer a Bhagnari spread for a pop-up titled, My Forgotten Baloch, as part of The Gourmet Food Company’s Kitchen Dining series that attempts to revive lesser-known community cuisines.
