Apart from hot rice, you can also eat it with roti. If you also want to eat some indigenous and delicious food on the weekend, then make a Punjabi style kadhi pakoda this time. Let’s know its traditional recipe.
2 cups sour yogurt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt taste
1 tbsp oil or ghee
1 teaspoon mustard
Some curry leaves
1 onion (desired)
1 cup gram flour
1 teaspoon parsley
Salt taste
Frying oil
Prepare Kadhi solution:
Whisk yogurt and gram flour in a big vessel so that there is no kernel. Then mix turmeric, chili powder, salt and 4 cups of water and make a thin solution.
Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan. Add cumin, rye, asafetida, curry leaves and dry red chili. When it starts to crackle, add finely chopped onion and fry till it becomes golden. Now add yogurt-basan solution to it.
Cook on low heat:
Let the curry come to a boil while stirring continuously. Then reduce the heat and cook for 30-40 minutes. Keep stirring in between so that the curry does not appear in the bottom.
Add gram flour, onion, parsley, chili powder and salt to a bowl. Make a thick batter by adding a little water.
Fry pakoras:
Heat the oil in the pan and fry this batter with a spoon and fry it round pakoras. When it is golden and crisp, take it out and keep it on the tissue paper.
When the curry cooks well and becomes thick, then add pakoras to it and let it cook on low flame for 5-10 minutes so that they absorb the taste.
Heat one teaspoon of ghee, add a little mustard and red chili powder to it and put it on the prepared curry. This will make both taste and fragrance fantastic.
Serve Punjabi Kadhi Pakora with hot basmati rice or cumin rice. If there is papad and pickle together, the taste doubles.
Punjabi Kadhi is not just a recipe, it is associated with emotions. Its fragrance and taste in every house refresh some memory. So next time there is some desi and special food, then definitely try this classic recipe.
