Gujarati Kadhi is a most famous North Indian dish made of yoghurt, gram flour, asafoetida and curry leaves giving it a tasty flavour. The taste of this kadhi is slightly sour, slightly sweet and slightly spicy. Comparatively, this kadhi is thinner than the Punjabi kadhi pakora.
To make this Gujarati kadhi, always remember to use sour curd. This curry does not taste good if the curd is not sour. How to do sour yogurt? Remove the curd from the refrigerator for 4-5 hours before making it, which will definitely make it sour. If the weather is cold then more hours have to be kept outside.
Mostly this kadhi is perfect to make in the summer season as the curd present in it cools the body. This is one of my favorite dish. I definitely make it once in a week, whether it is cold weather or summer.
It is very easy to make. It only takes less than 15 minutes to make. Pakodas are not added to this kadhi. This recipe is perfectly suited hot with steamed rice for lunch and dinner.
