Chef Tips:

1. Sindhi curry takes lots of water to form a liquid curry, so add water accordingly. You may adjust water later after opening the pressure cooker.
2. Sometimes Sindhi Curry becomes thick if not served immediately, in that case heat curry on the gas, add water and little bit of salt, let it boil and then serve.
3. Vegetables like drumsticks, brinjals, pumpkins etc also can be added, it depends on everyone’s taste and preference.
