                                             PUNJABI  KADHI RECIPE

Kadi is basically a yoghurt based curry prepared with besan, and topped fritters called pakoras. It is usually served with plain hot steamed rice or roti. It is one of the simplest Punjabi dish.  I have prepared the pakoras with only onion. You can also make vegetable pakora as well with onions and follow the same procedure. Do not forget to whisk the curd properly before transferring it to pan. You can totally skip pakoras if feeling lazy. Today we will learn how to make Kadhi.
