Kadhi chawal is a dish which looks exotic and tastes great.It has all the good veggies which kids may not eat.You can make this one pot meal for an entire clan of fussy relatives.They may have different tastes but wipe out even the last drop of the dish.Sindhi toor dal kadhi is a non-besan version of actual kadhi. You can make it when there is less besan at home and too many guests coming over.
Serve it with some sweet boondi or motichoor laddoo.
Add in some crisp chips and fried papad along with aloo & arbi tuuk/fried chips.This is a wholesome meal and usually made for Sunday lunch.However, you can make it any day.Generally left over kadhi thickens and tastes amazing.We then have it with roti instead of rice.
You can also call it a cousin of south Indian sambhar rice.However,Kadhi has lesser spices to Sambhar, which specifically has many spices and chillies in its spice mix.It is by far milder with respect to red chilly and also khada masala content.You can cook this dish fast and it serves as a main meal.
