With roots in the dry desert lands of Sindh, Sindhi Kadhi is a delicious curry prepared using roasted besan (bengal gram flour) and a good mix of vegetables. This tangy and spicy kadhi makes for the best comfort food when paired with rice and a side of aloo tuk or pakoda.
Chef's note:
Bring out the rich Kadhi flavour by roasting the gram flour until it changes colour and gives a nutty aroma. Then, gradually mix in water for the gravy to take shape, before stirring in our spicy Tamarind + Spice Dip & Spread. Continue stirring as you add the dip to keep the gravy from burning. Serve the Kadhi over a bed of long grained Basmati rice along with a side of papad and pickle.
