Ingredients
Kadhi Base
- 5 Tbsp Gram Flour
- 3 Tbsp Oil
- 6-8 cup Water
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 pinch Asafoetida
Spices and Aromatics
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 Chili green, slit lengthwise
- 10 Curry Leaves
- 1 Tbsp Coriander chopped, leaves
Vegetables
- 2 Potato cubed
- 10 Cluster Beans trimmed and chopped
- 10 Okra trimmed and chopped
- 1 Bell Peppers capsicum, chopped
- 1 Eggplant brinjal, chopped
- 5-6 Cauliflower florets
Tamarind Paste
- 1 tsp Tamarind Paste
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the gram flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 20-25 minutes until it turns a light golden brown. This step is crucial for developing a nutty aroma and preventing a raw flour taste.
- Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the pan. Once they splutter, add the asafoetida, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the green chilies, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Partially cover the pan and let the kadhi simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the simmering kadhi.
- Cook the potatoes until they are partially softened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the cluster beans, bell pepper, okra, eggplant, and cauliflower florets to the kadhi. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Continue simmering until all the vegetables are tender, approximately 20-25 minutes. Maintain a gentle simmer to prevent the vegetables from overcooking.
- Stir in the tamarind paste. This adds a subtle tanginess to the kadhi.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the kadhi to a rolling boil. Immediately remove from heat.
- Cover the pan and let the kadhi rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
- Serve hot with boiled white rice.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Quantity of water can be adjusted as per preference.
- The larger the pieces of vegetables, the more time needed to cook them.
- In a hurry, the Kadhi can also be made in a pressure cooker, but the taste does differ slightly from the traditional slow-cooking method.
- Adjust seasonings as per preference.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt.
- Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the tempering for enhanced aroma and to aid digestion.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of ghee before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Kadhi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
