Sidu Masala Curry is a unique and high-quality preparation from Himachal Pradesh, where the traditional steamed bread (Sidu) is simmered in a magnifique spiced gravy. I take fresh sidu, cut them into large chunks, and cook them in an aromatic base of mountain ghee, tomatoes, and regional herbs. This dish is a symbol of mountain comfort, ensuring that heritage bread is used to create a sustaining and luxurious meal. The taste is remarkably balanced—soft, savory, and carrying a magnificent toasted scent from the ghee. It is an honest representation of heritage cooking that values regional produce. I love serving this warm as a premium lunch with spicy mountain pickles.
