Sidu Curry is a royal and comforting dish from the high-altitude regions of Himachal Pradesh. Sidu itself is a traditional fermented bread, but when cut into pieces and simmered in a rich, yogurt or ghee-based gravy, it becomes a magnificent main course. The bread pieces act like sponges, soaking up the creamy, spiced sauce while maintaining their unique fermented texture. We usually flavor the curry with local whole spices like cloves and black cardamom to provide a deep, warming aroma. It’s a meal that represents the endurance and warmth of the mountain people during heavy snowfalls. I love serving this with a small bowl of local honey or spicy chutney on the side.

Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great sidu curry is not over-stirring once the bread is in the gravy, as it can break easily.
  • Always use full-fat yogurt for a richer, more traditional mountain-style flavor.
  • Wilting the onions into a smooth puree ensures the gravy has a royal, velvety texture.
