 On days when I want something new but can’t think of what, I fall back on Indian food. The cuisine is so diverse from all over the country, the many regions, states, family recipes and more that there is always something new to try. 

These recipes might not be the popular cookie or mac and cheese or a samosa or tikka masala. These are humble vegetable or bean/dal recipes that are flavorful and delicious. Some might need you to step out of the usual comfort zone of expected flavor profiles. Try them atleast once. For more options, look into my cookbook which has recipes by region listed in the last few pages. 

Today’s recipe is Sindhi Kadhi  – Veggies in chickpea flour curry, which is similar to (onion/broccoli) Fritters with yogurt sauce (Punjabi Pakore waali Kadhi) in terms of the spices used. But Sindhi Kadhi uses vegetables instead of fritters and chickpea flour to make the sauce instead of yogurt + chickpea flour. It is easier and faster as well. Vegetables usually used in Sindhi Kadhi are cluster beans, drumsticks or Okra with potatoes, carrots, green beans and other veggies. These veggies are often cooked before adding to the kadhi in the last 10 minutes of simmering (okra is roasted in oil until golden, beans are cooked in pressure cooker or boiled). Use any veggies you like and make this kadhi. Serve over rice, or with flatbread. I served this with Squash flatbread (Paratha).

    Would this work without the fenugreek and the tamarind… I really don’t like either of them. Suggestions for replacements maybe?

      you can use mustard seeds( 1/2 tsp). And for the tang, you can add more tomatoes and more lime/lemon juice to taste. Fenugreek seeds add a subtle flavor, so maybe add 1-2 seeds?

    This sounds wonderful! I’ve never had chickpea flour in a soup, but since I am a big fan of the chickpea, I know I’d love it. Also, beautiful pics!

      Thanks Cadry. It works great as a thickener and adds a deep nutty flavor!

    Thank you and very (y). First time I see another recipe using besan! Have only ever used it in what we call at home Burmese Soup. Will send this recipe back to my folks (I now live on a boat so many ingredients can be hard to come by).
    btw: check your blog regularly for inspiration in the galley (aka kitchen).

      add it just after the chickpea flour is roasted. I added that in the instructions. Thanks for catching it.

    Soothing and creamy deliciousness! Although I didn’t have all of the seasonings at home it tasted fantastic, being eager to try the recipe before shopping.
    The vegetables and herbs I used didn’t need much cooking time. Since the soup tasted yummy and seemed thick enough after only ten minutes I’ll shorten the cooking time next time and will try even more of the seasonings mentioned.

      Awesome! I used potatoes and they needed the longer cooking time. The soup should thicken as soon as it comes to a boil. Simmer for another few minutes after it comes to a boil and its done.

    This was so, so good. I could eat it everyday! I probably cooked it a bit longer and really didn’t pay attention. The chickpea flour made it so silky smooth with the whole cooking time…..Lovely texture.

      you can use 2 -3 Tbsp wheat or white flour and a tbsp ground cashews. If you can, do get chickpea flour as there are many recipes I use it in.

      probably 2 mins manual hi pressure at step 4 (or try low pressure). Then quick release and mix in tomatoes,tamarind etc and saute for 2 mins. Veggies might overcook in the instant pot.

    What is tang, and where in the ingredient list is it? Am I missing something?

      Lime juice adds the tang (its a flavor) and it is listed as the last ingredient.

    I’ve made this a bunch of times, and love it. Before I found tamarind paste, I improvised with tamarind balls. This is perfect for those times when I forget to soak legumes the night before, and don’t want tofu or lentils.
