Ingredients
Kadhi
- 1 ½ Cups Curd or Yogurt
- 3 Tablespoons Gram Flour Besan
- 2 Green Chillies minced
- ¾ Tablespoon grated Ginger
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- ½ Teaspoon Hing
- 1 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 Teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
- 2 Dried Red Chillies
- 1 Sprig Curry Leaves
- 1.5-2 Cups Water
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Jaggery Powder
- 10 Sugar Baby Mangoes
- 1/2 cup Mango Puree optional
Tempering
- 2 Teaspoons Ghee
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- ½ Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 2-3 Dry Red Chillies
Instructions
Kadhi
- Combine curd, besan, green chillies and ginger in a bowl. Mix well until there are no lumps in the mixture. Set aside.
- Add oil in a kadai on a medium flame. Once hot, add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Add hing, fenugreek seeds, dry red chilli and curry leaves and fry for about a minute.
- Turn the flame to low and add the curd mixture. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously. This prevents the mixture from splitting or curdling.
- Once the curd mixture has come to a boil, reduce the flame. Add 1.5 cups of water and mix. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. Simmer on low for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally
- Add sugar baby mangoes and mango puree (if using) and cook for 10-12 minutes. Add salt and jaggery powder. Add more water if required to adjust the consistency. Mix to combine and cook for 2 more minutes.
Tempering
- Add ghee to a frying pan and heat it over a medium flame. Once hot, add cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. Add dry red chillies and red chilli powder and fry for 10-15 seconds. Turn off the heat and add it to the prepared kadhi. Serve hot!

Notes
- Whisk the gram flour (besan) and curd together really well to make sure there are no lumps. Add water only once the besan is whisked
- Lower the flame before adding the besan curd mixture
- Stir continuously till the kadhi comes to a first boil. This prevents it from splitting
- Once it has boiled, simmer for 20 minutes to cook the besan or it’ll taste raw> keep stirring occasionally to prevent the kadhi from sticking to the bottom and burning
- Add more water while it simmers to adjust the consistency
- Sour curd gives kadhi its unique flavour but if you don’t have some, fresh curd also works in a jiffy
