About the recipe

Indian diversity best reflects in its food and the perfect example for this is our kadhi recipe. Depending on the place and the availability of ingredients, you can find many variations in making this kadhi. Rajasthani Kadhi is much like Marwari Kadhi. In Marwari Kadhi, bay leaf (tej patta) is added to flavour the recipe. Dahi ki Kadhi or Besan ki Kadhi or Kadhi Chawal are other names given to kadhi. Typically, kadhi is made with sour curd, besan (chickpea flour | gram flour) and very minimal Indian spices. Do give this a try today!

Tips to make Perfect Kadhi

To get creamy and tangy kadhi, use thick and sour curd or yogurt.
Adding more chickpea flour will make the kadhi thick upon cooling.
Make sure to whisk the curd and chickpea flour until smooth. Avoid lumps.
Always boil the kadhi on low flame by continuously stirring it to avoid it to stick to the bottom of the pan.
