Kadhi without Curd. Easy recipe and delicious tips to make curd curry.

Kadhi is a very popular dish of Indian food, which is usually made from curd and gram flour. But many times it happens that yogurt is not available in the house or due to some reason people do not want to use curd. In such a situation, the question arises that how to make a curry without curd and can its taste be the same sour and wonderful? The answer is – absolutely. You can make delicious and perfect curry even without curd, just you have to use some special tricks and ingredients.

First of all, let’s talk about material. Instead of curd, you can use tamarind, mango powder (dried mango powder) or lemon for sour taste. With these things you will get the same sourness which works to give curd. Besan is the most important part of Kadhi, so it is necessary to throw the gram flour with water so that there are no lumps in it. After this, it has to be run continuously while cooking, so that the raw taste of gram flour is over and the curry becomes thick and smooth.

Now comes the matter of method of making. First of all, mix gram flour and water well in a large pot and prepare a thin solution. Add salt, turmeric and red chili powder to it. Now let it cook on low flame on gas and keep stirring continuously. On cooking for about 10-12 minutes, the gram flour solution will gradually become thick and the base of Kadhi will be ready. During this time you can add tamarind water, mango powder or lemon juice to it. If you are using tamarind water, soak it in advance and then mix it.

The real taste of Kadhi is hidden in its tempering. Heat oil or ghee in a small pan for tempering. Add mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, dry red chili and asafoetida and fry it. After this, add onion, garlic and ginger and fry till it becomes light golden. Pour this spicy tempering on the curry and mix well. If you want to make Kadhi more tasty, then you can also add pakoras to it. For this, make a thick solution of gram flour and add spices to it and fry small pakoras in hot oil. Putting them in the prepared curry will double the taste of curry. The curry made of curd looks exactly in the taste as a normal curry. In this, sourness comes from tamarind, mango or lemon and gram flour gives it perfect texture. This curry looks very wonderful with rice, bread or even parathas. The special thing is that it is also light in digestion and immediately relaxes the stomach.
