Kadhi Pakoda for ICC-September
![]() Time seems to fly extremely fast these days, I find myself always trying to catch up with all the different projects that I?m working on, but never really able to get them under control. I wish I could just slow down, take a deep breath and start afresh, but that?s not going to happen since everyone wants their stuff done first. Well on a lighter note, I managed to find time to participate in this month?s ICC after 3 months break. I followed the recipe for pakodas to the T, but reduced the quantity of ingredients for the Kadhi since I was making it just for myself. Recipe courtesy Simran @ Foodzone. Ingredients: For Pakodas: Besan (Chickpea flour) ? ½ cup Red chili powder ? ½ tsp Salt ? to taste Onion ? 1 medium, thinly sliced For Kadhi: Yogurt ? ¼ cup Besan ? 1 heaping tbsp Water ? 1 cup Mustard seeds ? ½ tsp Cumin seeds ? ½ tsp Ajwain (Bishop weed) ? ½ tsp Methi seeds (fenugreek seeds) ? ½ tsp Red chili powder ? ½ tsp Onion ? 1 medium, thinly sliced Turmeric ? a pinch Garam masala ? ¼ tsp Amchoor powder ? a pinch (I didn?t use this since my yogurt was tart enough) Salt ? to taste First make the pakodas: Mix besan, salt, red chili powder and add water to make semi-thick batter. Dip onions in this batter and deep fry the pakodas. Keep aside.Next make the kadhi: Mix yogurt and besan and make a thick paste with no lumps. Add 1-2 cups of water to make a thin paste. Heat 1tsp oil in a saucepan, add the seeds and once they start sputtering, add the onions and saute till lightly browned. Pour in the yogurt-besan mixture, along with turmeric, red chili powder and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat and simmer till the mixture gets thick, about 20-30 minutes.Add the pakodas just before taking the kadhi off the heat and bring the mixture to a boil one more time. Add the garam masala and amchoor (if using); mix well and enjoy with steamed rice.
