Energetic Gram Flour Soup (Kadhi)
This is a very beginner friendly recipe, and with these step-by-step instructions you can make it in few minutes.
Material (Ingredients)
- 1 tbs gram flour
- 2 tbs Greek yogurt – homemade yogurt works best
- ½ tsp ghee or oil of your choice
- Pinch of Hing (asafetida)
- ½ green chili finely chopped
- About pea size of finely grated ginger
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 Currey leaves (optional)
- Cilantro for garnish (optional)
- ½ tsp jaggery (optional)
- ½ tsp fenugreek seeds (optional)
- Pinch of turmeric (optional)
Method
- In a mixing bowl, whisk gram flour and yogurt to make a smooth paste.
- Once you have a smooth paste, add a cup of water and mix it.
- In a pan on stovetop at low-medium heat, add ghee.
- When ghee is warmed up, add curry leaves & hing (you may add fenugreek seeds if you have).
- Pour the liquid you made, chili-ginger & salt (turmeric and jaggery if you want to balance sour taste).
- Bring it to boil, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring intermittently.
- Take it off the stovetop and garnish.
Tips
- Soup too thin: Simmer longer or add ½ teaspoon extra gram flour (mixed with warm water first).
- Soup too thick: Add a splash of hot water to adjust consistency.
- Yogurt curdling: Make sure the heat is medium‑low when adding the mixture, and whisk well before pouring.
- Too spicy: Reduce ginger‑chili paste.
You can make this soup in advance or store in refrigerator for later use; it will be a bit thicker than you made, add a tbs or two of water and bring it to boil prior to use.
