Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and 1/4 cup of water until smooth and lump-free. Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Caramelize the Onions

  • Heat the vegetable oil and ghee in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the grated ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften and caramelize. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.

Simmer and Serve

  • Stir in the yogurt mixture and the remaining 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Serve hot as a side dish with chapatis or naan. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Kande Ki Sabzi

  • For extra-sweet caramelized onions, use a good quality, sweet onion variety like Vidalia.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even caramelization.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preferred spice level. Start with one and add more if needed.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar or jaggery along with the onions.
