Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Kadhi Pakora
- For extra flavorful pakoras, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the batter.
- To prevent the kadhi from becoming too thick, add hot water gradually while stirring continuously.
- Ensure that the yogurt is well whisked to avoid lumps in the kadhi. Straining the yogurt beforehand is highly recommended.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference. For a milder kadhi, reduce the quantity.
