Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- Red Chilli Powder (Lal Mirch) — 1 tsp (ground)
- Turmeric Powder — 0.5 tsp (ground)
- Curd — 100 g (whole)
- coriander powder — 1 tsp (ground)
- Gram Flour — 40 g (ground)
- rice — 100 g (ground)

Tempering
- oil — 2 tbsp (whole)

Method
- Wash the rice and cook it separately in water with a little salt till soft, then keep it aside covered.
- In a bowl, whisk the curd and besan together with about a cup of water till there are no lumps, forming a smooth kadhi batter.
- Heat the oil in a pot on medium flame. Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle.
- Pour in the curd-besan mixture along with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt, stirring continuously to prevent it from splitting.
- Bring the kadhi to a gentle boil, then lower the flame and simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring often, till it thickens slightly and loses the raw besan smell.
- Check the salt and adjust the consistency with a little water if the kadhi is too thick.
- Turn off the flame, garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the hot kadhi ladled over the cooked rice.
