Gujrati kadi- khatti-mithi

I love Gujrati food. It is simple to make (believe me, some of it is ;)) and tastes delicious.  Here is an example of extra-ordinary taste with less than ordinary effort.

Ingredients :

Curd- 2 cups

Water- depening on the thickness of kadi you desire

Besan or gram flour- 1 to 1.5 tablespoon

Ghee- as much as you desire

Hing or asafoetida- a few pinches 

Jeera or cumin seeds- 1/4 teaspoon or less

Mustard seeds-1/4 teaspoon or less

kadi pata or curry leaves- 10-12

Cinnamon-1 stick

Moti eliachi or black cardamom 1 to 2

Ginger -as per taste

Green chillies- as per taste

Jaggery- as per taste

Salt

Process:

Beat the curd, add the desired quantity of water (Gujrati kadi is usually thin in consistency), add salt to taste and the gram flour.

In a kadhai or pan add the ghee and add the rest of the ingredients except the gur/jaggery.

Once they have fried well, add the curd mixture.

Let it come to a boil and add jaggery. Let it boil for a few more minutes and your Gujrati kadi is ready

Serve with rice, poori or thepla.
