From the time I was little, Kadhi has always been a comfort food of mine. Like Chicken Soup, Kadhi makes a wonderful hot soup when it’s cold outside or if you are under the weather. Mix it with Khichdi and you have an easy and satisfying meal.
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
Yogurt – 1 cup, beaten
Water – 3 cups
Chickpea Flour (Besan) – 4 Tbsp
Salt – 3/4 tsp (or to taste)
Turmeric Powder – 1/8 tsp
Ginger – 1/2 tsp grated
Green chilies – 1 to 2 (to taste), finely chopped
Sugar – 1 tsp or to taste (optional)
For Vaghar (seasoning):
Oil – 2 tsp
Ghee (clarified butter) – 1 tsp
Whole red chili – 1
Cloves – 4
Cinnamon – 1 small piece
Cumin Seeds – 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek Seeds (Methi) – 10 seeds
Asafoetida (Hing) – 1/8 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Cilantro – 5 sprigs, chopped
Method:
1. In a pot, mix together Yogurt, Water and Chickpea Flour well until there are no lumps.
2. Add Salt, Sugar, Turmeric Powder, Ginger and Green Chilies.
3. Bring mixture to a boil on medium flame, stirring continuously.
4. Reduce flame to low.
5. In a separate small pan, heat Oil and Ghee.
6. Add Whole Red Chili, Cloves, Cinnamon, Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds and Fenugreek Seeds – allow them to splutter.
7. Turn off flame and add Asafoetida, Curry Leaves and Cilantro – mix well to coat leaves with oil.
8. Immediately, add the seasoning to the boiled yogurt mixture and allow it to boil once more.
Tips:
1. To prevent yogurt from separating when heated, don’t forget to stir CONTINUOUSLY until mixture boils.
2. To make thicker Kadhi, add more besan.
3. If your yogurt is too sour, replace part of the water with milk

Hello Hetal and Anuja,
Both of you are so professional in your recipes. Right from the instructions to nitty-gritty details, there is so much clarity. I tried the gujju kadi and the kichi. It came out very well the very first time I made. I am very happy and thank you both.
Please continue the good work.
Cheers,
Pavithra

Hi,
I agree with Jinal, Gujarati Kadhi has to have some sugar otherwise the kadhi will be VERY sour. I make excellent kadhi and one other ingredient I always add is minced garlic (1 clove) along with other spices.
Try it!

Hi Pinal/Jinal,
Of course Gujarati Kadhi has to have sugar (we mention that in the video). I happen to be one of the few Gujjus that can’t handle sugar in my food…unless it is dessert
. We’ve made the addition of the “optional sugar” in the recipe. Thanks!

Hi Ruchika,
You can triple or quadruple all of the ingredients except in the seasoning (vagar). You can just double the amounts for that.

Hi ladies,
After 4 unsuccessful tries with different recipes, I finally made it! and I am not a novice! I don’t know what was up with me and kadhi, I would never get it right. Kadhi and sooji upma are the only two things that I can’t cook, looks like it has boiled down to only sooji upma now
Thank you again!

Hello ladies,
One quick question.
I follow ur recipe for making yogurt and its perfect.
That yogurt is on the milder side..Thats wat I prefer.
But I guess for Kadhi I need little sour one.
can i just keep how much I need outside for 3-4 hrs before Kadhi preparation.
Waiting for ur reply.
thanks

Hi Bhavika,
Yes, you can keep the yogurt out for a little while to make it more sour. It doesn’t have to be 3-4 hours, even an hour or so will help. If you need your kadhi to be a little sour and your yogurt is not, you can also add a pinch of citric acid. You won’t even know it’s there and you will get the tangy flavor.

Hi Hetal,
thanks for ur reply.
The tip about citric acid is great.

Hi
Just to let you know, that we also add a small chopped tomato, i suppose that gives it a little tang, and also when i’m short of time i leave the ghadi on a very small flame and it will come to a boil on its own without splitting!!! Trust me it sounds wrong but it works every time and your ghadi never splits.

Wow, I’ll have to try the low flame method. Thanks for sharing!
