Sindhi Tomato curry

  This was a tomato curry was the sindhis . This tastes similar to the tomato kulambu what we make , but we won't add vegetables to it.

 Sindhi are a sindhi speaking ethnic group native to the sindh province of Pakistan. The food of these people is referred as sindhi foods. This curry is one of the sindhi foods.
