Pulaav (left) with kadi - yum! |
my wife, gunjan, is extremely fond of marathi or maharashtrian kadi. The recipe, given to me in 2004 by Alka Lokhande (Reema and Meeta's mum), is quite easy yet simply delicious. Here it goes:
Ingredients
- yoghurt - one bowl
- gramflour - one heaped tablespoon
- salt - to taste
- sugar - 1 heaped tablespoon
- green chilli - 3/4
- ginger - 1 finger sized (my finger :D)
- mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
- curry leaves - about 15-20
- oil - 3 tablespoon
- water - 1.5ltr
crush the ginger and chilli
mix the yoghurt and gramflour and whisk together gently (you don't want butter to come out of the yoghurt now, do you!?) till no lumps, to which add sugar, salt, and water. mix well till uniform and add crushed ginger and chilli.
heat oil on high in a deep saucepan and add mustard seeds and curry leaves. after 5-10 seconds, add the yoghurt mix and keep stirring till the boil comes. boil for another 5 mins on high heat, stirring regularly, and then turn heat to mid (4 to 5 o'clock) and stir intermittently for 20 mins. Done :)
Hope you enjoy this :p
cheers
