Sindhi Style Pakode ki Sabzi | Aur ji bhaji | Sindhi style Pakoda Kadhi| Besan Ke Pakode ki Sabzi

Today i am gonna share special Sindhi Style Pakode ki Sabzi | Aur ji bhaji, which is very different from Punjabi Pakoda Kadhi.

It’s a tangy gravy that is dominated by the flavours of garlic & mustard seeds and it’s spiced up by green chillies and tomatoes.

The unique thing about this dish is gram flour/besan pakode (dumplings) which add wonderful dimension to this dish.

Its an Authentic Sindhi Sabzi you all would love to make. It’s besan ke pakode ki sabzi  (very different from punjabi pakoda kadi, which is made by using curds in the gravy).

Sindhi Style Pakode ki Sabzi | Aur ji bhaji

Amongst all Sindhi community it’s known as Rai/aur ji bhaji means mustard seeds sabzi.

For this Sindhi Style Pakode ki Sabzi, tadka/phodni/tempering is made with rai/mustard seeds, but the curry/sabzi is made of besan pakoda/dumplings. Hence this sabzi is called Rai ji bhaji.

This Sindhi Style Pakode ki sabzi is very frequently made at our house, during Summer season due to non availability of many vegetables as compared to what we get during winters.

This being good option & besan/gram flour is full of proteins, i make it a point to make it fortnightly as everyone at my place loves it.

Combine this Sindhi Pakode ki Sabzi with some sukhi sabzi, Ghee wali chapati. To beat the summer heat, i make Kachi kairi + onion chutney along with this particular sabzi and serve glass of chilled buttermilk, & we are sorted.
