Hello Friends,


I apologize for missing 2 entries from the roundup yesterday. Please do visit Veggie/Fruit a Month - Avocado event's roundup again to check them out.


Now, here is another one of many versions of kadhi that we prepare in our household. Hope you will enjoy this.


Methi Kadhi - मेथी कढ़ी (Fenugreek Yogurt Soup)

Ingredients

For Kadhi (Gravy)

Dahi (Yogurt) - 2 cups

Water - 2 cups

Besan (Chick Pea Flour) - 2 tbsp

Dhaniya (Coriander) Powder - 1 tsp

Jeera (Cumin) Powder - 1 tsp

Haldi (Turmeric Powder) - 1 tsp

Amchur (Dry Mango Powder) - 1 tsp

Salt - as per taste

For Tempering of Kadhi (Gravy)

Oil - 1 tbsp

Rai (Mustard Seeds) - 1 tsp

Jeera (Cumin Seeds) - 1 tsp

Heeng (Asefoetida) - a pinch

Lahsan (Garlic) - 4 big cloves

Adrakh (Ginger) - 1 inch piece

Hari Mirch (Green Chillies) - 3-4, finely sliced
Fenugreek Leaves - 1 cup, finely chopped

Preparation

• Mix everything under "For Kadhi" well in a bowl such that there are no lumps left.
• Now, take a deep and thick bottomed pan and add first 4 items under "For Tempering of Kadhi".
• Once the seeds start spluttering, add the remaining ingredients under "For Tempering of Kadhi".
• When nice aroma of ginger/garlic starts coming and methi leaves are slightly wilted, add the yogurt mix in it and mix continuously till the mix starts boiling (A tip here, always take the yogurt out of the fridge at least an hour before you make this so that yogurt is in room temp and doesn't take very long in boiling). This constant stirring step is very important as if not done properly, the yogurt will curdle.
• Once the kadhi starts boiling, simmer the gas for 4-5 minutes so that it gets cooked well (you can really smell a nice aroma, once it is done, so you will know..lol). 

Serving

Serve it with warm rotis or warm white rice :)
