How to make Punjabi Kadhi

  • To begin with making this Punjabi style kadhi pakodi, first we need to make the pakoris.

To make ‘Pakoda’-

  • Combine all the ingredients (Except oil) in a bowl  and make a smooth batter with water. It should have the consistency of a cake-like batter.
  • Now, heat oil in a kadhai/wok and drop spoonfuls of  batter. Fry on medium heat till till golden and crisp.

‘Pakoris’ are ready. Transfer to a plate with some kitchen napkins and keep aside.

To make ‘Kadhi’ or ‘Gravy’ –

  • Mix together gram flour, yogurt, water, salt and turmeric pd. to make a smooth batter.
  • In a deep pan/kadhai heat oil and add all the whole spices, asafetida, red chilly powder.
  • Now, add in the batter and bring to a boil. Season with salt and simmer on low flame for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the pakoris/fritters and simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat. 

Our Punjabi style pakode wali kadhi is now ready.

Tips –

  • While making ‘Kadhi’ or gravy, use a LARGE wok. Kadhi froths while cooking and can spill if you use a smaller one.
  • Deep fry the pakoris/fritters on low to medium heat. If you fry on high heat, then they may quickly get golden from outside but remain undercooked/raw inside.
