Winter season in Mumbai is a boon for those who love to eat a variety of greens/leafy vegetables. Sarson ka Saag, Bathua, Saag of Hara bhara, fresh Methi, Paalak, green garlic etc make our meals so refreshing. Winters also bring a bounty of red juicy Carrots, plump pods of Peas, Kand, tender Radish and Sweet potatoes in the markets. Walking down the lanes of vegetable markets in this season means walking down the memory lanes, pausing at the carts loaded with winter produce, admiring the array of colors, sniffing the freshest vegetables and fruits, picking the best from the lot,…

D^adhri, a healthy snack loaded with nostalgia! I grew up in Ulhasnagar, a place where many Sindhis still follow their traditions, where the old rituals are still valued, where you can hear the locals speaking in Sindhi language, the families eating Sindhi food on daily basis and Sindhi festivals being celebrated traditionally.

It was not…

When I started sharing some Sindhi Thali spreads on Instagram (Sindhirasoiofficial) and Facebook page (Sindhirasoi.com), I started receiving many requests to share the recipes of each dish presented in the Thali. So I thought to share the details of all the Thali meals in a blog post for easy reference! Most of these meals were cooked across the year, though some are from the distant past. I haven’t meticulously planned the menus of these Thalis and the dishes were cooked depending on the seasons and availability of the ingredients during the lockdown, in the past year or so. Hence some…

Kadhi! A Kadhi, for Sindhis, generally means something that is soul soothing, heart warming, exhilarating…a dish that while being stirred in a pot, stirs up memories in your mind. It is not what the non Indians label as a ‘curry’. It is what your Mother/father/grandparents would cook, with all the love. It is something that you crave for, on a cold day, on days when you feel low, when you need a balm to soothe your aching heart. Kadhi is a Soul food, Kadhi chaawal, a comforting meal! Drop a yes, if you agree ! Many assume that a Sindhi…

Want secret recipes of Batan Papdi Chutney and special Chaat masala? Do check the video recipe : AlifBe~ 45 The 45th Alphabet of Arabic Sindhi script is ڻ in Sindhi, ण in Devanagari and N~ in Roman Sindhi. In Hindi or Devanagari, no word starts with this particular alphabet. Same is the case with the Sindhi script and the ण appears in the middle or at the end of any word. In English it is generally denoted by ‘N’ as in Ramayan, Raavan, Brahman etc due to lack of proper corresponding alphabet for ण, in English. And I have picked…
