Sindhi Thadri Special: Niji Palak

September 05, 2023 13:04 IST

Niji Palak is a flavourful recipe, often slow cooked for the Sindhi festival of Thadri on September 6, that proves why garlic and palak (spinach) is a shaadi made in heaven

The aroma of its abundant garlic wafts off this dish, and the garlic enhances the natural flavours of spinach. Vishaka Damwani's version of the Sindhi fave can be had with rotis or steamed rice.

Vishaka is a home chef who loves Sindhi cooking and promotes her Sindhi language, among today's generation, via her videos on Sindhi Ji Rasoi on YouTube, which features recipes in Sindhi.

She plans to write a book on recipes from her community and its festivals, that Sindhi mothers and fathers can pass on to their sons and daughters on their wedding day, as a gift they will use, treasure and pass on to their next generation.
