Kadhi is my all-time favorite recipe. As it is an easy and quick Indian recipe. I pair it with different pakoras like onion pakora, crispy corn pakoda or bread pakora. Kadhi is the best meal for busy winter nights. Besan kadhi is made up of a mixture of curd and gram flour. I prefer to add a little sugar to make a tasty combo of spicy chilies and sugar sweetness.
Making a kadhi recipe is very easy. To make it perfect we have to follow some tips. Like, while pouring the besan and curd mixture, the flame should be low. And tadka [sauting chilies] should be perfect. Also, adding a small amount of sweetener like sugar or jaggery powder increases the taste of the dish. And, adding pure ghee at last in the kadhi makes it more flavourful.
