Instructions
Prep – Work
Slit the green chili into two or chop them into small pieces.
Chop the ginger and cilantro and set aside the other required ingredients.
Mix the yogurt, besan with 1 cup of water and whisk well. You can use a hand blender to mix them all together. Make sure there aren’t any lumps.
Steps
Heat the kadai and add ghee.
Once the ghee is hot, add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, methi seeds and hing.
As they start to splutter, add the cloves, cinnamon stick, curry leaves, green chili and ginger and sauté for a minute.
Then reduce the heat to low and add the yogurt-besan mix.
Add salt, sugar and the remaining 1 cup of water.
Mix it well and let it simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes over low heat.
Then, add the chopped cilantro and mix well. Turn off the heat, and that’s it.
Kadhi is ready. Serve hot with roti or rice.
Notes
Usually, turmeric is not added for this Gujarati kadhi, but given the health benefits, a pinch can be included.
I love the flavor of cinnamon and cloves, and it adds a nice flavor to this kadhi. But I have tried without them also.
Tempering can be done with oil instead of ghee.
Depending upon the sourness of yogurt, adjust the salt, sugar and green chili. I used Greek yogurt it was not sour at all.
You can add veggies like we do in mor Kuzhambu and make it healthier.
