Ingredients

For the Kadhi:

  • 500 g Yoghurt
  • 50 g Gram Flour
  • 1 litre Water
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
  • 2 Green Chillies
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Turmeric Powder
  • 1 handful Coriander

For the Pakora:

  • 300 g Gram Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Crushed Chilli
  • 1/2 Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 150 ml Water

Instructions

  • Add the yoghurt and gram flour to a large bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Gradually pour in the water while whisking continuously, making sure there are no lumps.
  • In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic paste and green chillies, then sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the salt, chilli powder, and turmeric powder, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water to prevent burning and to help the spices release their colour.
  • Slowly pour the yoghurt mixture into the pan, stirring continuously.
  • Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Once it boils, lower the heat and let it simmer gently until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Add the chopped coriander and stir well.
  • Turn off the heat and set the kadhi aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the gram flour, salt, chilli powder, crushed chilli, turmeric powder, and coriander powder.
  • Slowly add water in small increments, mixing until you get a thick batter.
  • Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry the pakoras until golden brown on both sides.
  • Once done, add the pakoras to the kadhi.
  • Let it simmer for a few more minutes so the pakoras absorb the flavour.
