Kadhi Pakora | Besan Ki Kadhi

Kadhi and rice or roti by itself makes a complete meal

In a mixing bowl, add besan, ajwain, red chili powder, salt, eno salt, sliced onions, chopped spinach and mix everything well. Combine well with the help of the moisture in onion and spinach. Let the pakora mixture rest till the oil is hot.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan. When the oil is hot, take small portion of pakora mixture and drop gently in oil. Deep fry the pakoras in medium flame till they are golden brown and crispy. Take out the pakoras and place in paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat the same for rest of the pakora mixture

In a mixing bowl, add curd, besan, red chili powder, salt, turmeric powder and mix well. To that add 3 cups of water and whisk well so that all the ingredients are well combined without any lumps. Add Amchoor powder and mix well. Kadhi mixture is now ready for cooking

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat oil + ghee. Add fenugreek seeds and fry till golden color. Then, add mustard and cumin seeds and allow it to sputter.

Then add curry leaves and slit green chili. Add sliced onions and saute in oil till translucent.

When the onions turn translucent switch off the flame. Pour in the kadhi mixture to the pan. Keep the flame in low and continuously stir the kadhi mixture till it starts to boil. Continuous stirring is very much needed or else the curd will get split.

When the kadhi mixture starts to boil, continue cooking the kadhi mixture in low flame for atleast 20 mins. We can occasionally stir the kadhi mixture. After 20 mins, we can see the oil oozes out of the kadhi. Switch off the flame.

In another pan, heat a teaspoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and allow it to sputter. Add asafoetida, red chilies and red chili powder and give a mix and switch off the flame. Keep this aside

Take a serving bowl. Add 4-5 pieces of Pakoras. Pour in the Kadhi mixture. Finally garnish with the tempering.
