    Sindhi recipe collection has many exotic recipes. Usually, Sindhi dishes name which will come to your mind are papad and Sindhi kadhi. However, you will find all kinds of vegan, gluten free vegetarian and non vegetarian recipes in our daily diet. While the sweets like Karachi halwa ,khorak and bhugal mawa (milk cake) are unique and rich.Delicately spiced rice recipes like thoom ware chawar and Sindhi Tairi provides a balance to all those rich gravies and nut based sweets. Rice in Sindhi is called chawar while Bhuga means cooked until brown. The lovely dark brown colour of the onion gives plain rice a delicate flavor.This Sindhi chawal is a classic comfort food and a family favourite.

    Tahiri is a Sindhi style sweet rice preparation that is made with jaggery or palm sugar and dates for slightly sweet touch. Bhugha chawar on the other hand has the flavor of caramelised onions. Both are delicious and totally Yum Yum yum!
