Sindhi cuisine, from Sindh, Pakistan and India, is filled with flavour and spices. It is influenced by Balochistan which touches the border of Sindh and Punjab. The pre-partition played an immense role in making the cuisine what it is today. As Sindh once was part of India, the Indian culture also has a large contribution of flavours in the cuisine.
