Pakoda Kadhi Recipe

There are days when you are trying to set yogurt and forgot to pick it up on time. This will make your yogurt go sour. Don't get disheartened, this is the best time to make this dish. A mouth watering dish from north India, which tastes better every time you make it.


This came perfect the first time I made it. And if I can make it in the first go, you can too :). So, everyone get up and make this super easy and delicious recipe. :) You can have this with rice, papad and some salad on the sides.


Ingredients:

Curry:

1 Cup sour yogurt
1/4 cup gram flour
3 cups water
2 tbsp clarified butter/ghee
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
2 dried red chili
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder

Gram flour rolls:

1/2 cup gram flour
1/4 cup water

Recipe:

For gram flour rolls:

1. Mix gram flour and water in a thick consistency paste such that it takes time to drop off the spoon.
2. Heat oil in a deep pan.
3. Once oil is heated, drop the mixture using your hands in small small portions (of desired size you want).
4. Let them cook over medium heat, so that they will get cooked from inside too.


5. On sides, keep a bowl filled with lukewarm water. Once rolls are cooked, transfer them into lukewarm water.
6. Let them sit for about 5 minutes. Once done, take them out by slowly squeezing the water out such that rolls don't break.

For Curry:

1. Take yogurt in a bowl and mix well until smooth. Add gram flour to it and mix well until no lumps are there. Add 1 cup water to it and mix everything well together.
2. Take a frying pan, add ghee and let it heat up. Once heated, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dried red chili, turmeric powder and 1/4 tsp red chili powder.
3. Once spices are done (only take few seconds) add yogurt and gram flour mixture. Let it come to a boil. Do keep stirring it else it will get burnt from bottom.
4. Once it came to a boil, add remaining water. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes on medium heat.


5. Taste it after 20 minutes to check if raw flavor of gram flour is gone. Once done, add gram flour rolls and let it boil for another 5 minutes.
6. Take a small pan, add ghee and heat it up. Once heated up, add 1/4 tsp red chili powder and add 1 tsp of water to stop red chili powder from burning. Add this, on top of your kadhi right before serving.
