SINDHI PHAKKI

Sindhi phakki is a very traditional and age old recipe that we have learnt from our ancestors.. This was served as an accompaniment along with Sindhi Daroon (daru) during the ceremonies. It has healthy nuts, sweet toffees and mints which are broken into pieces. As a shagun this is also distributed among relatives during the weddings. Preparing this also was one of the rituals. As it is time consuming many ladies would get together to do it.
