Sindhi Kadhi Recipe
Other Name – VEGETABLES & GRAM-FLOUR STEW FROM SINDH ORIGIN
I would like to give this recipe’s credit to Mrs. Bajaj from Chandigarh. She owns Sindhi Sweets brand, which is the oldest sweets company of Chandigarh, Punjab. I am consulting their company and during one of the project meetings, I got a chance to have lunch with the entire family where I tasted it. The tastes were divine. I requested her for the recipe and she graciously agreed not just to share the recipe, rather cooked it in her kitchen with me. Now we make it at our home very frequently and it’s our son’s favourite too.
