Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium cubes. Boil in water with a little sendha namak until just tender, then drain and set aside.
- Finely chop the green chilli and ginger.
- In a bowl, whisk the curd with the singhara atta and enough water until smooth and lump-free, to make the kadhi base.

- Add the chopped ginger and green chilli, and saute for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Lower the heat further and slowly pour in the curd-singhara atta mixture, stirring continuously to prevent it from splitting.
- Add the red chilli powder and sendha namak, and keep stirring gently while the kadhi comes to a gentle simmer and thickens.
- Add the boiled potato cubes and simmer on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kadhi reaches a smooth, flowing gravy consistency.
