ABOUT SINDHI KADHI RECIPE

Sindhi Kadhi is the most popular dish among all the Sindhi recipes. Unlike kadhis from other regions this has no curd added to it. The besan is roasted or fried in oil until it gives out a nice aroma. Then the water is added along with assorted vegetables and tempering.It cooks for about an hour on low flame until you get the desired consistency and the vegetables are done. We serve this with rice and malpuras or sweet boondi along with this kadhi.
