    Sindhi kadhi/ Kadi Chaawar is the favorite dish of Sindhi community. Probably the most celebrated signature dish of Sindhi cuisine and may be the most loved too. This besan ki curry recipe or tomato curry recipe is a powerhouse of vegetables. Another way to enjoy it while substituting tamarind paste for tomatoes. Sindhi Tomato Kadhi or tamatar ji kadhi is a tangy kadhi minus the tamarand puree. Many people cannot use tamarind due to health issues but that doesn't mean they cannot enjoy their favorite kadhi chawal. This tomato based version of lip-smacking kadhi is just as flavorful and goes best with plain boiled rice. This wonderful recipe is a perfect meal for a lazy sunday afternoons where you just want to have brunch.

    Other sindhi recipes include Dal pakwan, Kali mirch koki, Onion koki , bhuga chawar, sindhi chauthe, sindhi besani ,sindhi tairi ,sindhi papad and Sindhi khorak.

    What makes kadhi chawar such a favorite?

    Kadhi chawar is a regular lunch at Sindhi home on a weekend. It is gluten-free, vegan, egg-less and yet full of nutrition. You can also cook it easily and add any veggies to it. You can never go wrong with this vegetable kadhi recipe which is high in both fiber and protein. It is strikingly similar to sambar of southern India. Probably, the only difference being, we add minimal spices to the kadhi.

    You may 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 with sweet boondi, alu and arbi tuk as sides. Serve it love. It is a perfect wholesome meal and have a good nap later :).
