Tahiri is a Sindhi style sweet rice preparation that is made with jaggery or palm sugar and dates. Usually, one would see dates being used in sweets and chutney. However, it gives a great flavor to rice too. This recipe is rich in nutrients too. Both dates and jaggery are rich in Iron. We usually serve it with Saibhaji or Sai Palak and fried potato chips.

When is it eaten?

Usually, we eat this Sindhi sweet rice recipe on Sankranti & on festivals and special occasions. We also serve this during weddings, mundan ceremonies, teejri. It is a great dish for weekend brunches too when plain rice won't suffice.

Sindhi and their love for food

Our community is probably one of the biggest close knit ones. They also love adventure. They are foodies, travelers and also entrepreneurs. Hence, cuisine is a mixed bag too.  This authentic Sindhi cuisine developed with hardships migration and by being globally local. You will find lot of exotic items like pasta in curry. Probably evolved as a curry after loads of immigration and travel stories. Not many people knew macaroni when we were growing up in India. We have a rich cuisine. Use a lot of nuts, milk, mawa while cooking.We do not shy away from using ghee.Love to live king size too, throw dinners, parties and have a huge circle of friends unlike what may be portrayed in Bollywood. Ironically, there are lots of Sindhis in Bollywood! Basically we work hard and party harder! They face the world with a devil may care attitude. They do not fear what is coming next & have faith in their own self instead of relying on fate.
