Q. My Sindhi kadhi turned out amazing in taste, however it was thin. Is there anyway to thicken it?
When you cook the gravy and it is hot, it will be watery. Sindhi kadhi will thicken gradually as it starts to cool down. However, if you think the consistency is still watery you can add 1 tbsp of besan to thicken it and cook it further.
