Gujarati kadhi (Gujarati: કઢી) is a Gujarati version of kadhi.[1] It is a very popular Gujarati dish made from buttermilk or dahi (yogurt) and gram flour.[2] Kadhi is an essential part of Gujarati cuisine.[3]
Popularity[edit]
When Barack Obama visited India he was served Gujarati kadhi.[4] Kadhi was included on the Chinese president's menu when he visited Ahmedabad.[5] Kadhi has different varieties in India, due to which Gujarati kadhi is completely different from Sindhi Kadhi, Rajasthani Kadhi pakoda,[6] Badi Kadhi or a UP Kadhi except that all are yoghurt based (except Sindhi kadhi which has a tamarind base). In Gujarat, it's served with khichdi or steamed rice.[7]
Preparation[edit]
Gujarati Kadhi is lighter when compared to Rajasthani Kadhi.[8] The curd and gram flour are turned into a liquid mixture by mixing with a few cups of water. The chopped green chilies, chopped ginger and asafoetida are fried in a pan on medium flame. After that the curd paste is mixed and heated for a few minutes and stirred. The kadhi is then served hot with khichdi, naan, chapati or rice.[9]
Ingredients[edit]
Dahi (yogurt), gram flour, asafoetida, cinnamon powder, mustard seeds, curry leaves and coriander leaves are the main ingredients.[10]
Variations[edit]
East Indian Kadhi Badi, Sindhi Kadhi, Rajasthani Kadhi Pakoda,[11] Kathiawadi kadhi.[12]
