Gujarati kadhi is known for its light, tangy flavour balanced with a touch of sweetness, giving it a smooth and comforting taste. The yoghurt-besan base cooks into a silky consistency that pairs beautifully with steamed rice or khichdi.

Ingredients

1 cup yoghurt 2 tbsp besan 2 cups water 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste ½ tsp sugar Salt Tempering: 1 tsp ghee, cumin, mustard, curry leaves, 2 cloves

Step 1

Whisk yoghurt, besan, water, ginger-chilli paste, sugar and salt until lump-free.

Step 2

Heat on low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the kadhi thickens slightly.

Step 3

In another pan, heat ghee and add cumin, mustard, curry leaves and cloves.

Step 4

Pour the tempering over the kadhi and serve hot with rice or khichdi.
