I reflect on the three Sindhi staples I must have in my kitchen at all times and how these ingredients somehow connect to two of my favourite Korean and Italian dishes.
i subscribed today and enjoyed reading this article. It was enlightening to learn what seyal means. I would appreciate a clarification on seyal. Does it have 2 meanings? All this while I thought seyal meant cooking with the green coriander pesto aka kotmeer mashalo - in my home we called dishes made with this pesto "bindi patata seyal" or "seyal machee". Am I missing something here, does seyal refer to these dishes because of low/no water, or because of the pesto.......words and food, words and food :)
Hello! Thanks so much for reading and as per my knowledge, seyal is the method of cooking anything in limited to no water at all. What you’re referring to is what my family calls ‘sao masalo’ where sao means green because of the greens that go into this pesto. Any dish made using the seyal technique can contain sao masalo, they are kind of mutually exclusive to each other. Hope that helps answer your question! :)
