Gujarati Kadhi is a yogurt-based side dish, to which chickpea flour/besan is added as a thickening agent. It is tempered and then simmered with spices.
As compared to its other counterparts like punjabi pakoda kadhi or mix vegetable kadhi, Gujarati Kadhi has a thinner consistency and has a sweet and spicy taste. Gujarati recipes have a mild touch of sweetness to them. For the sweetness, we use jaggery more often than sugar. You can also substitute it for sugar.
Don’t forget to add curry leaves in this kadhi, as they enhance the flavour of this recipe. You may refer to our tip on How to preserve and store curry leaves for months.
