#besan Kadhi (spiced yoghurt) is my all time favourite comfort food. It is healthy, simple, easy to make and yummy too. I added some kaffir lime leaves for some refreshing lemony flavour. This recipe is a bit of a fusion style.
As I had some leftover malpuas (before dunking in the sugar syrup), thought of adding these to the kadhi. So use a cookie cutter to give the malpuas a desired shape and go ahead with the recipe. You will have a different style of kadhi that can be served with rice or chapatis.
