Posted On November 17, 2019

Sindhi Kadhi, known for its aroma, flavor, and spiciness is one of the most relished dishes across India. Basically, it is prepared using Gram flour but to give a little healthy twist I have made it using two types of Dal(Lentil); Toor dal(Split Pigeon lentils) and Chana dal(Bengal gram dal). Cook with Dal and a bunch of green vegetables, this Sindhi Kadhi come Dal is scrumptious food enjoyed especially with Rice.
