Kadhi Pakora

Kadhi  is a dish originating from  India. It consists of a thick gravy based on gram flour  and curd which gives it its sour taste. It can also be made with vegetable fritters called pakoras. It is often eaten with boiled rice or roti. Kadhi is made in different parts of India in its own version keeping the base gravy intact. For eg: Gujurati Kadhi is usually sweet and white, Punjabi Kadhi is with  pakoras , Sindhi Kadi with different sorts of vegetables and Rajasthani Kadhi is bit spicy.
