Simple Kadhi

 Ingredients

·   1.5 cups very sour or fresh Yogurt, without any water

·   3 cups water

·   3 tbsp chickpea gram flour or Besan

·   1 green chili, sliced lengthwise

·   1/2 small tomato, seeds removed and finely chopped

·   a pinch of turmeric powder

·   2 tbsp vegetable oil

·   1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds

·   1/2 tsp cumin seeds

·   1 small onion sliced

·   1 garlic clove, sliced

·   1/2 tsp chili powder

·   1 tsp Dhania-Zeera powder

·   Salt to taste

Method:

·   Mix the flour, yogurt and water together making sure no lumps of flour remain. If you have fresh yogurt but want to make it sour, add a few drops of lemon juice in the yogurt-water mixture and let it stand for 15 minutes or so

·   On medium-low heat, simmer this liquid. Add green chilies, tomatoes and turmeric powder while it simmers

·   Once the liquid is slightly thickened, around 15 minutes, in a separate pan, heat some oil

·   When well heated, add the cumin seeds, curry leaves and fenugreek seeds. When they start to splutter, add the onions and sliced garlic and fry them on medium heat till they turn golden-brown

·   Then add all the dry spices, mix well in the oil and pour over the simmering yogurt mixture. Mix well and add salt to taste

·   Allow to simmer for about 5 more minutes. Serve hot with Khichdi or Jeera Rice.
