Notes
Using sour curd and using enough spice will give you tasty kadhi. Otherwise the kadhi may taste bland. Pakora batter should not be too thick. If too thick, it may not be soft and it wont get soaked in the kadhi well. Ginger and asafoetida are the main flavouring ingredients in this recipe, so be generous adding it.
