Sindhi Recipe
Cook Book
Food often defines the character of a community. This is especially true when it comes to niche food traditions such as the tasty Sindhi cuisine. For the people of Sindh, a community uprooted and dispersed by Partition,cooking provides a vital connection to their homeland. Their kitchens, with their distinct recipes and ingredients, helped identify and anchor them in the places they adopted as their new homes in Bairagarh. This history is also why frugality lies at the heart of many Sindhi recipes-having to rebuild their lives from scratch led to them valuing what was available to them wherever they settled.
Sindhi food also reflects the influence of food cultures of the Rajputs,the Mughals, the Sikhs and even the Arabs, For instance, karaha prasad (wheat halwa) has been adapted from Sikh cuisine, gheeyar (Sindhi jalebi) is a adapted from Rajasthani food. And that is why its said that the uniqueness of Sindhi food truly lies in its adaptability.What also adds to the distinct flavours of the Sindhi food are three things: slow cooking, layering of garam masala and a taste for combining sweet and savoury flavours.
