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).
