Method for making kadhi

1. Take a big mixing bowl, and whisk sour curd with gram flour (besan) and water. Make a smooth mixture without any lumps.
2. Add red chili powder, turmeric, and salt.
3. Heat oil in a kadai, on low flame, and add fenugreek seeds and asafetida. As soon as fenugreek seeds become pink add green chili, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Stir well and add the sour curd mixer with one hand while stirring constantly with the other hand. Do not stop stirring otherwise lumps will form.
4. Now lower the heat stirring constantly till it starts boiling. Let it simmer for 10 -15 minutes on low heat or till the kadhi gets thickened. We can adjust the consistency of kadhi using water depending on how we want.
5. Switch off the flame and add the fried pakoras to the kadhi. Rest the kadhi for the pakoras to absorb the kadhi.
6. Before serving the kadhi check the consistency. Sometimes the pakoras absorb a lot of kadhis and the kadhi thickens. In that case, boil 1/2 cup of water and add to the kadhi and let the kadhi simmer for 5 mins. Do not stir too much or the pakoras will break.
7. Before serving transfer the kadhi with pakoras to a dish.

For the final tempering :

• Heat ghee in a small pan, on low flame, and mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds begin to crackle add jeera. When the jeera seeds also crackle add curry leaves and dried red chilly. Cook for 30 secs and then remove from heat. Now add Kashmiri chili powder – you do it this way so as to not burn the powder and retain the color. Now pour the tadka over the kadhi in the serving dish.

Enjoy your homemade kadhi chawal!
