Gujarati kadhi recipe is a simple and easy buttermilk based recipe, but its warmth, aromatic sweet flavours make it a popular choice amongst the other varieties of kadhi dishes. A charming companion of rice dishes like khichdi, flavoured or plain rice and Gujarati flatbreads like rotla, thepla, etc.
Slightly thinner than other yogurt based savoury dishes, kadhi recipe is enlivened by besan (chickpea flour) and traditional spices for a fascinating warm side dish. It has got a hint of sourness and dominating salt and sweetness which encompasses the Gujarati cuisine. A must have side dish which appears in any celebrating ‘thalis’ as well as in humble homemade meals.
