“KADHI” is solely a yogurt based gravy dish that is solidified with chickpea flour and tempered and later simmered with some fascinating Indian spices. Every region in India has their individual way of preparing Kadhi – you get Punjabi Kadhi, Rajasthani Kadhi, Maharashtrian Kadhi, and Gujarati Kadhi.
Kadhi is a really unique mixture of ingredients and zest – but then like all other Indian dishes – it carries an enormous flavor and more often than not has nutritional advantages as well.
In Gujarati cuisine, Kadhi is dressed with a clever combination of spices, yogurt/sour milk/buttermilk, and chickpea flour. It is one of the best recipes of Gujarati cuisine and the authentic recipe is a combination of flavors, spices and etc.
