This curry is my new found favorite.

Kadhi, is a popular Indian dish made with yogurt and chickpea/ gram flour. The dish has a lot of variations. But, here is a simple recipe with the goodness of vegetables.

For this recipe, I used carrot, zucchini and kohlrabi. You can use any other vegetable of your liking. Gram flour is usually used to thicken the curry. Do not add gram flour directly in to the pot as that may cause lumps. Make a gram flour slurry, simply by mixing together water and gram flour. Add this slurry to the vegetables. Cook the slurry well to avoid any raw taste of the flour. The curry will thicken gradually. Once it’s all well cooked, turn off the flame and then add the yogurt to get a smooth, creamy curry.

Serve this with hot chapatis/rotis or even rice and you have a wholesome nutritious meal.

Hope you enjoy this recipe.

Happy cooking !! 🙂
