    If any one of my friends were to ask me, which is the famous Sindhi food ? It is Sindhi Kadhi chawal. Kadhi Chaawar or Sindhi Curry is one of the famous sindhi dishes. This curry is probably the most celebrated signature dish from our kitchen.

    Plain rice with Sindhi Kadhi and tuk combination is a regular lunch at Sindhi home on a weekend.Tuk is simple fried potatoes or colocasia. Other easy sindhi recipes that you can make include Dal pakwan, Kali mirch koki, Onion koki , Seyun patata, bhuga chawar,sindhi papad, sindhi chauthe, sindhi besani ,sindhi sai bhaji sindhi mitho lolo , Sindhi onion pickle ,Sindhi kutti, sindhi varo and do not forget Khorak.

    While Punjabis make besan ki kadhi recipe with yogurt and pakode (fritters), this is an all veggie affair. Unlike besan kadhi, Sindhi Kadhi is vegan as mostly oil is used in tempering. Punjabi kadhi can be made when you have lots of yogurt left over and have little veggies at home. It is basically, making onion fritters and serving them in a  yogurt sauce. Recipe for sindhi kadhi helps you use all the left over raw veggies in refrigerator. We make it with loads of veggies along in a chickpea flour base. It is sour and tangy due to addition of tamarind paste/ imli pulp. Some people also make Sindhi kadhi with tomatoes if they cannot have tamarind due to health reasons.

    Is Sindhi kadhi healthy?

    This curry is vegan and about making most of what you have.Simple dish with addition of about any vegetable you have at home. You need only a handful but everything comes together in a perfect unison. Thus, making it full of nutrition. You can cook it easily in a deep sauce pan. It is also full of proteins due to gram flour. Beans, eggplants, potatoes, peas, carrots moringa. Slightly fry okra and cluster beans and then add it. Tastes divine. You can also make it gluten-free by avoiding heeng or asafoetida in tempering.

    This recipe is strikingly similar to sambhar of southern India. Imagine two similar dishes prepared 1000s of kms apart. Probably, the only difference being, we add minimal spices to the curry. You can serve it to a large gatherings as much as for small lunches. We also serve it especially during weddings as one of the meals. You will never go wrong serving this gravy dish at luncheons or dinners.

    Serve it hot with rice, aloo tuk,arbi tuk papad, khichiya and motichur laddu or sweet boondi.

    Serving suggestion

    Serve it with sweet boondi, aloo tuk and Kachalu ja Tuk as sides along with plain steamed rice or jeera rice. I prefer serving Basmati rice with it as it has a wonderful aroma to it.

Besides that are Dahi ki kadhi and gatte. Below is the list of different sindhi curry recipes.

      If i am not mistaken Besan is flour made from Bengal Gram/Channa Daal and not Chickpeas/Kabuli Cholay.

        hi Abi,
        Thanks for your query.
        There are different varieties of Chickpeas.. one of them is kabula chana, bengal gram is also a variety of chickpeas, hence we refer to besan as chickpea flour.

        Thanks
