Method

  1. To begin making Methi Pakoda Kadhi, first make the pakora batter. Take a large bowl and mix most of the gram flour with the red chilli powder, methi leaves, onion, turmeric powder, Eno fruit salt, asafoetida, salt and ajwain.
  2. Add a little water at a time and make a thick pakora batter.
  3. Heat a paniyaram pan, add a few drops of oil into the cavities and spoon small portions of the pakora batter into the cavities; pan-fry the methi pakoras until brown and crisp on all sides. Once done, keep them aside.
  4. For the kadhi, whisk the curd well in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the remaining gram flour, cumin seeds and coriander powder to make a smooth, lump-free kadhi mixture.
  5. Add 2-1/2 cups of water and mix the kadhi mixture well. Turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil, whisking continuously until it becomes smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Once the kadhi begins to thicken, turn the heat low and let it simmer for 10 minutes so it picks up all the flavours.
  7. After 10 minutes of simmering, add the methi pakoras into the kadhi and simmer for another 5 to 8 minutes until they turn soft.
  8. In a small tadka pan, heat the ghee, add the cinnamon stick and dry red chilli and let them crackle. Taste the Methi Pakoda Kadhi and adjust salt and spices.
  9. Transfer the Methi Pakoda Kadhi to a serving bowl, pour the tadka over it and give it a swirl. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with multigrain methi thepla or steamed rice.
