1 finelly chopped onion
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1/4th tsp Fenugreek seeds
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Red chilly powder
a pinch of Asafoetida

1 or, 2 Green chillies (slit lengthwise)
a few Curry leaves
1/2 tsp Kasturi methi
Coriander leaves
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp Cooking oil

Kadhi Pakoda

Kadhi Pakoda

Method of preparation:-

Pakoda -

  1. Mix all of the above very well in a bowl with water as required.
  2. Do not make the batter very thick or, the pakodas will remain hard even after adding to the kadi.
  3. Let the batter stand for about 20 minutes.
  4. Now heat oil in a frying pan and deep fry the pakodas in this hot oil and keep aside.

Kadhi-

  1. Whisk together yogurt and besan with a cup of water to get rid of lumps, if any.
  2. Heat oil in a kadai, once it is warm, add mustard seeds.
  3. When the seeds starts spluttering add fenugreek seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves.
  4. Saute for a few seconds and add chopped onion, green chillies and ginger.
  5. Saute till the ginger and onion turns golden brown.
  6. Add red chilli powder, turmeric and salt and add the yogurt-besan mixture into it quickly and mix well.
  7. If the curry is too thick than add more water as the kadi will thicken on cooking.
  8. Let it simmer till it begins to boil and look yellow.
  9. Make sure the kadi is close to done before adding the pakodas. Boiling too long after adding pakodas will cause them to break (specially if you managed to make them very soft). Also keep in mind that adding them too late will leave them dry.
  10. Add pakodas and bring to a boil, simmer for a few more minutes.
  11. Add kasturi methi and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  12. Serve Hot with plane rice and roti.
