The word “Kadhi” should not be confused with ‘curry’ which means a gravy of onions and tomatoes. They are entirely different dishes with different flavors. Kadhi is slow cooking of yogurt or buttermilk thickened with besan (chana daal flour) which is later tempered with spices cooked in mustard oil. There are numerous versions of making kadhi and each family has their own preferences and cooking style. In Punjab, where I hail from kadhi is always made with pakodas ( fritters). And those, who have tried punjabi kadhi, agree with me that it taste most amazing and they yearn for more. It is one of the few dishes besides rajmah chawal that I grew up eating mostly for lunch. Served piping hot with steamed rice, papad, pickle and cucumber salad I could not think of more satisfying summertime meal.
