Instant Pot Sindhi Kadhi Recipe

This is one recipe that has waited long on my “to try” list. I have eaten it a few times at family or friends’ but never tried making it.

Although I had the recipe with me, as shared by a very dear friend Duru….but I could never gather the courage to make it. Finally, that day came and I conquered it.

Sometimes we fear or hesitate to try anything new, but it all seems silly once we actually try it and find it totally doable. Right? 

Thank you, Duru for your amazing recipe. It is going to be a regular in my kitchen. The girls loved it. They called it a casp between Kadhi and Sambhar. Now that is such an interesting observation and I agree.

How to make Sindhi Kadhi in Instant Pot?

Preparing the Vegetables

1. Wash all the vegetables in a Kitchen Colander and pat them dry. Take your Chopping board and Kitchen Knife. Cut the vegetables in large chunks as shown in the picture above. Chop Ginger & Green Chilies into small pieces. Tomatoes need to be pureed. Set these aside.

Sauteeing the Besan/Gram Flour – important info included to get it right.

1. Add Gram Flour or Besan to the inner pot. Saute it till it turns slightly golden in color. You will know it once it is done since the aroma of it gets strong. It is very important to keep sauteeing it continuously to avoid burning. In between, keep pressing the flour down inside the pot to make sure that the flour doesn’t lump with other ingredients in the pot while sauteeing. It might take 7-8 minutes to brown the flour properly. Please check the video for better understanding.
