Steps

45 minutes

1

To begin, prepare the badis. Take gram flour (besan) in a bowl. Add carrom seeds (awain), salt, red chilli powder, and turmeric powder. Add in water in batches to make a thick paste of dropping consistency. Beat well to aerate the batter so that the badis are soft and fluffy.
2

Heat oil for deep frying. Drop the batter into hot oil to make small badis. Deep fry until slightly golden. Remove and keep aside.
3

In another bowl, whisk together the curd and besan.
4

Heat mustard oil in a pan. Add in the cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and asafoetida (hing). Allow them to crackle.
5

Next, add the ginger garlic paste with chopped green chillies. Saute for a minute.
6

Now add the curd and besan mixture you prepared earlier. Mix well. Allow it to come to a boil stirring constantly.
7

When it comes to a boil, add the salt and turmeric powder. Mix well. Reduce the heat and let it cook for around 10 minutes until it is nice and creamy.
8

Add in the badis and garam masala powder. Mix well. Cook for a few more minutes. Transfer the Kadi Badi to the serving dish.
9

Prepare the tempering. Heat oil in a tempering pan. Add in cumin seeds, red chilli powder, and whole red chillies. Pour this tempering over the kadi.
