Punjabi kadhi is a traditional North Indian dish made with yogurt, gram flour, and spices, often served with pakoras (fried dumplings). It's tangy, creamy, and delicious!
STEP 1.In a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt and gram flour until smooth. Add water and whisk again to make a lump-free mixture. Set aside.
STEP 2.Heat oil or ghee in a large pot or kadhai over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds (if using), and dried red chilies. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
STEP 3.Add chopped ginger and garlic. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
STEP 4.Add chopped onions and green chili. Cook until onions turn translucent.
STEP 5.Now, pour in the yogurt-gram flour mixture slowly, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
STEP 6.Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
STEP 7.Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kadhi thickens and the raw flavor of gram flour disappears.
STEP 8.In the meantime, you can prepare the pakoras if you like and add them to the kadhi once it's almost done.
STEP 9.Once the kadhi is ready, add the chopped vegetables and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
STEP 10.Adjust the consistency of the kadhi by adding more water if needed.
STEP 11.Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired.
STEP 12.Serve hot with steamed rice or chapatis. Enjoy your delicious Punjabi kadhi!
