Notes

  • Sour Curd gives added flavor to the dish.
  • I prefer to use Curd with fat content instead of low-fat Curd while making Kadhi.
  • Fritters can be shallow-fried, however, I prefer deep-fried fritters while making Kadhi,
  • Onion is completely optional, however, I prefer mine with Onion.
  • Both Coriander powder and Coriander seed are optional however make the kadhi more flavorful.
  • Tempering added in the last stage is optional as well, however, it makes the Kadhi more flavorful.
