HOW TO MAKE SINDHI KADHI AT HOME | AUTHENTIC SINDHI KADHI RECIPE

What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word Sindhi? Sindhi Kadhi, right?

A lot of people may or may not know the Sindhi culture but the one thing they know for sure is the Sindhi Kadhi. Sindhi cuisine & recipes are passed on from one generation to the other. Sindhi Kadhi has been an intriguing dish to all my friends since childhood. A lot of my friends wanted to eat this delectable dish. It is also known to some as Sindhi Besan Ki Kadhi.

I saw a lot of people post the Sindhi Kadhi Recipe over the internet, with variations like adding jaggery, mustard seeds, tomato, kadhi patta (curry leaves) etc. Believe you me, none of these ingredients are needed when preparing Authentic Sindhi Kadhi. The Sindhi Kadhi Recipe that I am presenting today, comes straight from a Sindhi Rasoi. It was taught to me by my mother & mother-in-law. To them it was taught by their mother & mother-in-law and so on and so forth.

The Sindhi Kadhi is supremely delicious and very easy to make.  It is made from gram flour and vegetables. Vegetables like okra, eggplant, cauliflower, Indian squash (tinde), yam (suran), cluster beans (gwar fali), potatoes, green chilies, drumsticks (singi) & a lot more, are added to increase the taste & nutrition. This Authentic Sindhi Kadhi is served with steamed rice, as lunch only in the Sindhi Community. Papad (a staple appetizer of Sindhi’s) and sweet bundi (meethi boondi) garnished with Almond clipping are the condiments that are always served with this mouth-watering & exquisite Sindhi Kadhi. This recipe requires the use of tamarind water that needs to be prepared in advance. Click here to View the Tamarind Water Recipe Video or view the Text Version of the Tamarind Water Recipe.
