Gujarati Kadhi Recipe

Kadhi is a comfort food in India. It is a spicy dish made by cooking gram flour in buttermilk. There are various versions of Kadhi in different parts of India. I have learnt this Gujarati Kadhi recipe from my mom 🙂 She is fond of Gujarati food and culture as she has grown up in Gujarat. This Gujarati Kadhi is sweet and spicy and makes for a delicious and nutritious addition to the meals. It goes very well with Khichdi. Check out the Khichdi recipe by Happily Veg 🙂 You can also serve it with Steamed rice.

Procedure:

1. Add the curd and gram flour to the water and blend with the help of a hand blender or traditional churner/ ravai/ ravi. Make sure there are no lumps remaining.
2. Add green chillies, ginger, a few curry leaves, jaggery and salt.
3. Bring this mixture to boil and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes. Keep stirring at regular intervals so that the Kadhi doesn’t overflow and spill. Keep the gas flame on low.
4. Once the Kadhi has simmered for about 6-7 minutes, prepare the tempering/ tadka.
5. For tempering/ tadka heat ghee in a tadka pan. Use an iron tadka pan if you have one as it will add to the taste and iron content of the Kadhi. I am using a steel tadka pan here. Once the ghee is hot, add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add cloves, cinnamon, curry leaves and stir for a few seconds. Add red chillies and stir till they start turning brown. Next add the asafoetida/hing and immediately put off the gas flame.
6. Pour the tempering on the Kadhi immediately. You can use a lid while pouring the tadka on the Kadhi so that the tempering doesn’t spill over. Let it boil for 1-2 more minutes.
7. You will see that the consistency of the Kadhi has become a bit thick. Put off the gas flame.
8. Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
9. Our Gujarati Kadhi is ready to be served.
