Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- Ginger — 1 tsp (ground)
- salt (optional) (whole)
- Turmeric Powder — 0.5 tsp (ground)
- Curd — 250 g (whole)
- Red Chilli Powder (Lal Mirch) — 1 tsp (ground)
- coriander powder — 1 tsp (ground)
- Gram Flour — 60 g (ground)
Tempering
- Cumin Seeds — 1 tsp (whole)

Method
- In a bowl, whisk the curd, gram flour (besan), turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt with about 2.5 cups of water until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds and let them splutter.
- Add grated ginger and saute for a few seconds (no onion, garlic or tomato in traditional Marwari kadhi).
- Pour in the whisked curd-besan mixture, stirring continuously to prevent it from splitting.
- Bring to a boil on medium flame while stirring, then lower the flame.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kadhi thickens slightly and the raw besan smell is gone. It should stay thin and pourable.
- Adjust salt and consistency with hot water if needed.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot over plain steamed rice or jeera rice.
- Serve hot.
