How to Make Gujarati Kadhi

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the besan (gram flour) and yogurt until completely smooth and lump-free.
  2. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of water, ensuring no lumps remain. Set aside.
  3. Peel, wash, and dice the radish into small, even pieces.
  4. Wash the ladyfingers (okra), pat them dry, and cut them in half.
  5. Grate the jaggery using a grater.
  6. In a large pot, combine the yogurt mixture, diced radish, halved ladyfingers, grated jaggery, and chopped green chilies. Mix well.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the kadhi thickens to your desired consistency (about 15-20 minutes).
  8. Season with salt to taste.
  9. While the kadhi simmers, heat the oil in a small pan. Add the fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds begin to crackle, add the curry leaves and asafoetida powder. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
  10. Pour the tempering (tadka) into the cooked kadhi. Mix gently.
  11. Serve the Gujarati Kadhi hot with steamed rice or roti. Enjoy!
