This is the most popular traditional Punjabi Style Kadhi-Pakodi/Pakoda recipe...

This recipe’s made differently in different parts of our country:
For eg. 'Gujarati Kadhi-Pakoda' is famous in its own way...
The very 'Northern Style' is derived originally from this Punjabi recipe & again, the very 'Sindhi Style' is quite different than these two aforementioned...
The 'Southern' part makes it delectable in its own way (but authentically, the southern & the eastern provinces don’t have this specific dish acclaiming to be their own.however, they’ve taken every little bits from here & there (North & West) & now, since it’s become truly & largely a cosmopolitan one We ALL make it, in our very own ways...👍

  3. 3

    Heat up a frying over the medium flame: Add in the measured cooking oil for it- Add in the Methi, Coriander & Cumin Seeds, Hing, Black Peppercorns, Dry Red Chilli- Allow it all to splutter without burning them at all

  5. 5

    Keep stirring continuously at this stage to avoid any lumps in it & it thickens a bit & the colour changes a bit too.Once it starts boiling, Reduce the flame & simmer the mixture by half covering the pan with a lid & cook for the next 30-35 mins time, stirring occasionally in between

  6. 6

    This stirring is required to prevent it from burning or sticking at the bottom of the pan.To adjust the required consistency of the Kadhi, add in some more water (if at all the need be so)- For me, it’s perfectly alright & it didn’t require any extra water to be added into it

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
