Primarily prepared with curd and gram flour, kadhi is an Indian delicacy that changes and adapts to different states of India, with each having it's own take on it. Be it the tantalising kadhi pakoda from Punjab, Kokum infused sidhi kadhi or the medley of sweet and spicy in Gujarati kadhi. The simplicity of this dish is unparalleled.

Just like a lot of states in India have their own take on it, I, too, decided to give the traditional kadhi my owl little twist. The meat-less dish got adorned with meat in my kitchen and the outcome turned out to be so good, that I’the happily replace it with the regular kadhi that we generally prepare.

Give a break to your typical chicken curry, and try chicken kadhi, instead!

Steps

1

Mix gram flour, salt and yoghurt in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste.
2

After the paste is ready, gradually add water to the mix to dilute the mixture. Set it aside.
3

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan; add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chilli powder, asafoetida and whole red chillies.
4

When the cumin seeds start to splutter, add in the yoghurt and gram flour mixture and bring it to a boil.
5

After a boil, simmer and add the morsels of chicken and garam masala to it. The mixture will start to thicken and the chicken will cook in 8-10 minutes(depending upon the cut).
6

Just before serving, you may temper kadhi with red chilli powder and/or dried red chillies.
7

Serve hot with basmati rice.
