Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- coriander powder — 1 tsp (ground)
- Ginger — 1 tsp (ground)
- Curd — 100 g (whole)
- salt (optional) (whole)
- onion — 2 piece (chopped)
- Tomato — 2 piece (chopped)
- Garlic — 1 tsp (ground)
- Red Chilli Powder (Lal Mirch) — 1 tsp (ground)
- Gram Flour — 100 g (ground)
- Turmeric Powder — 0.5 tsp (ground)
Tempering
- Cumin Seeds — 1 tsp (whole)
- Mustard Oil — 2 tbsp (whole)
Method
- Whisk the gram flour and curd together with a little water until smooth and lump-free, then keep aside.
- Finely chop the onion and tomato, and crush the ginger and garlic.
- Heat the mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan till it smokes lightly, then lower the flame and add the cumin seeds to splutter.
- Add the chopped onion and saute till golden, then add the crushed ginger and garlic and cook for a minute till the raw smell goes.
- Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chilli powder, and cook till the tomato turns soft and the oil separates.
- Lower the flame and slowly pour in the whisked curd-besan mixture, stirring continuously so it does not split.
- Add salt and enough water to get a flowing gravy consistency, then bring to a boil and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then so the besan does not stick to the bottom.
- Once the kadhi thickens slightly and loses its raw besan smell, switch off the flame.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice.
