Ingredients
- 200 g Yoghurt
- 40 g Gram Flour
- 1 litre Water
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 10-12 Curry Leaves
- 2 Dried Red Chillies
- 1 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Coriander
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt and chickpea flour until smooth.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Place the mixture in a large saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt. Stir well and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate small pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dried red chillies, curry leaves, and fenugreek seeds. Fry until the seeds splutter and turn aromatic.
- Pour the tempering (tadka) over the simmering kadhi and stir to combine.
- Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the kadhi thickens to your desired consistency.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with steamed or boiled rice (chawal).
