Dahi Kadhi

Dahi Kadhi is a comforting, tangy yogurt-based curry enriched with besan (gram flour) and subtly spiced with Indian tempering. A staple in many Indian households, kadhi is typically enjoyed with steamed rice or khichdi for a wholesome, soul-satisfying meal. Its luscious, creamy consistency and signature sourness come from well-fermented yogurt. While there are regional variations—Gujarati kadhi is sweet, and Punjabi kadhi includes pakoras—this version is simple, homestyle, and flavorful. Tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dry red chilies, Dahi Kadhi offers a delightful balance of spice, tang, and warmth in every spoonful.

A Kadhi recipe that is a family heirloom recipe and tastes super delicious. This fabulous Kadhi Pakora is my mother-in-law’s treasured recipe of making the traditional Punjabi Kadhi with onion pakora. Here the crispy onion fritters are dunked in a spiced, savory, tangy yogurt sauce. A recipe she has been making for ages and loved by all of us.
