Sindhi Kadhi /Sindhi Karhi سندھی کڑھی

Sindhi Kadhi is a very delicious and full vegetarian dish. It is different from Punjabi Karhi, no yoghurt or Pakoras are used in its preparation as in Punjabi Karhi, but seasonal vegetables are used. I Like this Kadhi very much because a lot of vegetables are used, with tart taste of Imli (Tamarind).
