Methi pakoda kadhi

Methi Pakoda kadhi | Popular pakora kadi recipe with detailed step-by-step pictures, pairs well with plain rice or jeera rice.

Methi kadhi pakoda, for the first time I tried kadhi after I tasted it at my friend’s place and that really turned out so well. I took the recipe from her, the original source of the recipe is Tarla Dalal’s space. I slightly modified the original recipe to suit my family’s taste. Thanks, J for introducing such a yummy dish to me.

I have posted the Punjabi pakora kadhi recipe in Jeyashris kitchen. Kadhi is similar to the South Indian Morkuzhambu. We usually make mor kuzhambu with coconut and also we use thick curd. In this North Indian version, we don’t use coconut, and we use besan | gram flour.

Kadi pairs well with plain basmati rice or jeera rice or naan or roti or with khichadi too. Kadhi chawal is a popular one in Punjabi cuisine. Kadhi is widely made in Maharastra, Punjab, and Gujarat and each state has its own version of the kadhi.
