Instructions to prepare Gujarati Kadhi

Step one:

Start with taking yoghurt in a pan to make Kadhi and add besan with ginger paste, green chillies, turmeric powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk it well so that there are no lumps. A person can use hand blender too to whisk the mixture. Now, add water and mix it properly for a lump-free batter.

Step two:

Put the mixture on medium heat to boil and keep stirring continuously. Do not forget to stir, as otherwise the yoghurt will thicken and Kadhi will overflow while cooking. When the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to simmer and prepare the tempering.

Step four:

Add this seasoning to the Kadhi and stir well. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes so that the raw taste and smell of besan goes away. Finally, add chopped cilantro making it tastier.
