SPRING ONION KADHI | RAJASTHANI PYAAZ KI KADHI RECIPE

Kadhi is a lightly spiced yogurt-based soup recipe from India. This particular recipe contains spring onion or lili dungri (green onion) for added flavour. My Grandma, who has Rajasthani roots, used to make this spring onion kadhi a lot in India, so naturally, my Mum picked up the recipe from her. My Mum has since been making this kadhi for our family here. When I was little I never used to like spring onion but as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate and love it!

This kadhi is:

✓ A great way to use up leftover spring onion ✓ Easy lunch/dinner recipe ✓ Made easily under 30 minutes ✓ Gluten-free ✓ Mild yet flavourful ✓ Creamy ✓This Kadhi is wonderful with plain boiled basmati rice, but you can also eat it with Bajri Na Rotla (Millet flour flatbread) Dudhi Ni Khichdi or Gujarati Rotli. We can’t get enough of our Gujarati Kadhi – a delicious sweet kadhi that goes wonderfully with Gujarati food Our Mango Kadhi is a great summertime special!

Cook kadhi on low/medium heat once it has come to a boil Add salt immediately with the other masalas Stir the kadhi continuously when it is simmering Use full-fat yogurt Use the full measurement of besan as it is needed to bind the kadhi If the kadhi does split, then add more besan that has been mixed with water to make a paste and recook the kadhi
