Sindhi cuisine belongs to the land of Sindh which is now located in Pakistan and it undoubtedly got influenced by the Indus Valley Civilization. With time and tide, Sindhi cuisine got influenced by Mughlai, Arabian cuisine as well.
To sum up, Sindhi cuisine is a grand and a vibrant cuisine. As much as Sindhi people love eating Daal and Chawal, Sindhi Kadhi rests in their favourite book of food as well.
While growing up, One of my friends was a Sindhi and she has treated me umpteen times with Sindhi Koki, Dal Pakwaan et al. Once when I met her for lunch at her home, she surprised me with piping hot Sindhi Kadhi, aloo tuk, Vegetable Jalfrezi, Phulkas and Steamed Rice.
The nice flavour granted by besan, tamarind and other condiments made Sindhi Kadhi a tangy creation that was a breeze to eat.
Whether it is for a homely meal or for a get together, I am sure Sindhi Kadhi will add more variety to the table whenever served!
As it is prepared using the most basic ingredients, Sindhi Kadhi doesn’t need any glamorous or exclusive preparation, rest assured.

Tips to make best Sindhi Kadhi
While adding besan in the oil, add it in small quantity and mix well after each addition. This will make sure there are no lumps in besan.
Fry the besan on medium low heat and keep stirring throughout otherwise the besan will burn and the kadhi will have a weird taste.
Again while adding water, add in small quantity and whisk well to make a lump free mixture. You can use a wire whisk to mix while adding water.
Cook the kadhi on medium low heat and covered so that the vegetables are cooked well.
You can give a second tempering of mustard seeds, cumin seeds, hing and red chilli powder in the kadhi if you wish to.
