Sindhi Cuisine refers to refers to the native cuisine of the Sindhi people from Sindh and Pakistan. The daily food in most Sindhi households consists of wheat based flat-bread and rice accompanied by two dishes, one gravy and one dry. Today, Sindhi food is eaten in many countries including India,where a sizeable number of Sindhis migrated following the  Partition of British India.
