- Finally, add the dry mango powder, combine everything, make sure the subji is dry.
- Sindhi Guaar is a dry Subzi, so cook till all the water is evaporated.

Notes
I was skeptical about adding both cumin seeds and mustard for tempering. By default, other than our andhra dal, I never add this combination for gravies.
Come to think of it, other than dry mango powder, everything else is the same as how we make our kuras (gravies). So, that goes to say that simple dishes across states are very much similar in their making.
