If you know someone who says that ” Sindhi food is unhealthy’, please share this link with him/her to burst that myth.
Popular Sindhi dishes like Dal Pakwan, Sanna Pakora, Koki, Tuk Patata are heavy on carbs but then most of our everyday food is not greasy or unhealthy. Do check the following recipe links for healthy Sindhi food!
Sindhis do eat healthy breakfast and not just rely on Koki and Dal Pakwan. Sindhi Saibhaji is not the only Subzi that we eat. A generous use of local and seasonal vegetables and fruits, sensible combinations of carbs, proteins and micronutrients, use of ample variety of lentils/beans and relying on varying cooking techniques can please even the jaded paletes!
