    Sindhi Sai Bhaji is a popular sabzi or dal from the Sindhi Cuisine. This is a winter special made with freshly available winter produce.

    This dal is made with spinach and lots of seasonal vegetables that leads a fantastic taste that can’t be achieved any other season. This Sai Bhaji is always served with Bhuga Chawara, which means Rice with browned onions. Well, you know how this dish came about right!

    Yes, I made this for last month’s AtoZ Biryani, Pulao & Khichdi Festival, where I did Bhuga Chawara for B under 30 Minutes Quick Meals. Both the rice and this dish got done under 30 mins as I used a pressure cooker.

    As per the traditional combination, I also made Aloo Roast. Everybody loved the whole combination and we loved the dal with rice and roti as well. This is one dal that will surely be done again!

    I simply followed Vaishali’s recipe for this dish and didn’t think about changing anything as I wanted to taste the authentic taste. Even though Amma doesn’t like cauliflower to be added in certain dishes, I did as its one of the winter vegetables and part of this recipe.

    So I have Sai Bhaji from Sindhi Cuisine for the Regional dishes this week, where we just started Bm#100, week 1.

      I remember making the same combination years back and loved it so much. The chawara and sai bhaji with the aloo looks amazing Valli. A perfect filling lunch.

      Sindhi Sai Bhaji has been on my to-make list for a very very long time. Your pressure cooker version sounds so easy to make and the dish looks sooo hearty with so many seasonal veggies.

      This has been on my to do list for years now and somehow haven't been able to try it. The combo of Sindhi sai bhaji, potato roast and the rice must have been a delicious meal.
