Ingredients
For the Kadhi Base
- 8 tbsp Gram Flour
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Tamarind Pulp
- 2 Tomato grated, medium
For the Vegetables
- 2 Potato cubed, medium
- 1 Drumstick cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 8-10 Okra trimmed
- 10 Cluster Beans trimmed
- 1/2 Cauliflower cut into florets
For the Tempering
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 8-10 Curry Leaves
- 1 tsp Ginger grated
Instructions
- In a deep non-stick pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the gram flour and sauté over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden. This step is crucial for developing a rich, nutty flavor and preventing a raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of water to the gram flour mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Create a smooth, flowing batter. Then, whisk in another 1 1/2 cups of water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Stir in the grated tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate shallow non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the okra and cluster beans. Sauté until they are slightly softened and vibrant green.
- Add the cubed potatoes and drumstick pieces to the kadhi base. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the sautéed okra, cluster beans, and cauliflower florets to the kadhi. Stir gently to combine.
- In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil for the tempering. Add asafoetida, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Sauté until the seeds splutter and the leaves are fragrant. Add the grated ginger and sauté briefly.
- Pour the tempering over the kadhi. Stir in the tamarind pulp. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The kadhi should have a tangy, savory flavor with a hint of spice.
- Serve the Sindhi Kadhi hot with steamed rice.
