If you ask me what my favorite meal ever in life is, I will have to say Kadhi with Khichadi ( now you know for sure what Part 3 is going to be). It is the simplest, yet tastiest food I can think of. It is very easy on the tummy and therefore highly recommended for convalescents. It is the best get well soon food in India found in all parts of the country in different avatars.
The same basic foods are found in all parts of India but with just a slight tweak in the ingredients, the whole appearance and taste changes completely. Like the More Kozhumbu in Tamil Nadu, Majjiga Pulusu in Andhra Pradesh, becomes Pakoda Kadhi in Punjab and Kadhi in Gujarat.
As a continuation of my Gujarati Meal, I made Kadhi, the recipe for which I got from Shilpa of Aayi's Recipes. This was again a perfect recipe which took all of 10 to 15 minutes to make. It was perfect and exactly what Gujarati Kadhi should be. I am drooling sitting here just thinking about how perfect the Kadhi was. I loved the fact that it was so so simple and easy to make. No grinding, no fuss whatsoever. Just simple food that tastes great.
Ingredients:
2 cups sour and thick buttermilk (or yogurt/curd)
1 1/2 tablespoons besan (gram flour)
1 teaspoon chili-ginger paste
3-4 curry leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
2-3 stalks coriander leaves
1/2 teaspoon Jeera ( cumin seeds)
1/4 teaspoon Methi ( fenugreek seeds)
A pinch asafoetida
1 tablespoon ghee
Salt
Method:
Make a mixture of buttermilk and besan and whisk well till no lumps remain.
Heat Ghee, add cumin seeds, fenugreek and asafoetida.
Now add the buttermilk mixture and mix well.
Add the curry leaves, salt, coriander leaves, chilly-ginger paste and sugar.
Bring it to a boil (Note that curry leaves are not added in ghee, they are added later on.)
Thanks again Shilpa for a perfect recipe.

Hello Kamini ! I too posted my version of Kadi just a day before at my blog. Ur version is slightly different, the basic method being the same. I also add bhajiyas to the kadi for that extra flavour. Everyone loves Kadi. Its sure is a comfort food..
