How to make Sweet and Spicy Gujarati Kadhi Recipe

Step 1: Mix curd and besan/gram flour in a bowl to a smooth batter using blender. Make sure there are no lumps. Pour 2 cups of water in the mixture and mix it well.

Step 2: Take a deep bottomed kadai, transfer this mixture and bring it to a boil on low flame. I have used mud kadai here.

Step 3: Add ginger-green chili paste, salt and sugar in it. Cook it on low flame for 10-15 minutes until the raw smell of besan goes away.

Step 4: In the meantime, let’s prepare the tempering. Heat oil in another kadai, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cloves, cinnamon, dry red chili, asafoetida and curry leaves. Saute on low flame. Pour this tempering over the Kadhi and mix well.

Step 5: Then, let it boil for another 5-6 minutes.

Step 6: Turn off the heat, garnish it with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
