Sindhi cuisine has a very distinctive flavor. I am not sure what it is but Sindhi dishes taste different. None the less they are delicious. This is one such recipe. Full of flavor and good for you too. This recipe is usually cooked with Spinach and Sorrel leaves but I used what I had on hand...canned mixed greens and it turned out pretty delicious
