Sindhi kadhi -Tangy mix vegetable curry in tomato sauce
Why Is Sindhi Kadhi So Popular
Sindhi Kadhi- Usually when we make kadhi then we add besan ka pakora,boondi ,vegetable fritters etc. in the kadhi. The gravy/curry of kadhi is also made with besan and the pakora’s are also made with besan/gramflour. The pakora/ fritters are deep fried in oil. So lots of gram flour and the fried fritters makes it delicious but quite heavy on the stomach.
This kadhi is made with roasted gramflour/besan and fresh tomato puree. Instead of pakora or boondi lots of vegetables are added in the kadhi which adds nutrition,taste and makes it light to digest. Addition of tomato puree and the vegetables gives a very nice taste to the kadhi.
How To Make Sindhi Kadhi
After adding the tempering of cumin,mustard and fenugreek seeds ,besan /gramflour is added in the tempering and roasted on low heat till it turn golden in colour. Then either add tomato puree or plain water ,all the spices and the vegetables and cook till the vegetables become soft.
The main vegetables to be added in the kadhi are- potato,okra/bhindi, guvar/ cluster beans/ drumsticks and brinjal. You can also add carrots, lotus stem, cauliflower, green peas, pumpkin/lauki ,beans and tinda in it as per your preference and availability . For sourness and the tangy flavour tamarind pulp is added in the kadhi. Addition of fresh tomato puree is optional you can make it without adding tomato puree,But addition of tomatoes enhance the taste of the kadhi and I always make with tomato puree.
How To Serve Sindhi Kadhi
Sindhi kadhi is usually served with jeera rice or steamed rice. Personally I prefer it with jeera rice (without any garam masala). Fried papad, Aloo Tuk- Fried aloo,arbi and brinjals and sweet boondi is served along the Sindhi kadhi.
