Sindhi Kadhi

Sindhi Kadhi warms my soul like no other dish can. Every time I go home to Karachi, I always ask my mother to make this dish. Sindhi Kadhi is sour because of the tamarid and you can put any and all vegetables in there. My favourite are obviously the peas and carrots! Enjoy this family recipe!
