Kadhi Recipe

Yield: 3-4 Servings
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

• 3 - 3 1/2 cup buttermilk (Tip 1)
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 2 -3 tbsp besan (gram flour) (Tip 2)
• 3-4 green chillies chopped or mashed
• 10-15 curry leaves
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• pinch of asafoetida
• 1 tbsp oil/ ghee
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• salt to taste

Method:

1. Pour buttermilk in a vessel. Heat this vessel.
2. Add besan, coriander powder, cumin powder, sugar and salt. Mix it and let it boil till besan gets cooked completely.
3. Keep on stirring in between so that buttermilk does not come out of vessel.
4. Heat oil in pan. Add mustard seeds and wait till they crackle.
5. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida.
6. Add ginger-garlic paste. Saute it till this paste turns golden (for 30 seconds).
7. Add curry leaves and green chilies. Saute them.
8. Add prepared buttermilk. Let it boil for a minute and switch off the flame.
9. Perfect Kadhi is ready to go with Rice/ Chapati/ Roti.

Tip:

• I generally do not have buttermilk at home. So, I substitute it with Yogurt and water. Here I used 1 cup of Yogurt and remaining water as per desired consistency.
• Besan quantity can be adjusted as per desired consistency. However, adding too much besan will change the taste.
• Plain Pakodas can be added at the end to this Kadhi for Kadhi-Pakoda.
