Gujarati kadhi (Template:Langx) is a Gujarati version of kadhi.[1] It is made from buttermilk or dahi (yogurt) and gram flour.[2] Kadhi is an essential part of Gujarati cuisine.[3]

Popularity

Gujarati kadhi served with bhaat (steamed rice)

When Barack Obama visited India he was served Gujarati kadhi.[4] Kadhi was included on the Chinese president's menu when he visited Ahmedabad.[5] Kadhi has different varieties in India; Gujarati kadhi is different from Sindhi kadhi, Rajasthani kadhi pakoda,[6] badi kadhi or Uttar Pradesh kadhi except that all are yoghurt-based (except Sindhi kadhi, which has a tamarind base). In Gujarat, it is served with khichdi or steamed rice.[7]

Preparation

Gujarati kadhi is lighter when compared to Rajasthani kadhi.[8] The curd and gram flour are turned into a liquid mixture by mixing with a few cups of water. Chopped green chilies, chopped ginger and asafoetida are fried in a pan on medium flame. After that the curd paste is mixed and heated for a few minutes and stirred. The kadhi is then served hot with khichdi, naan, chapati or rice.[9]

Ingredients

Dahi (yogurt), gram flour, asafoetida, cinnamon powder, mustard seeds, curry leaves and coriander leaves are the main ingredients.[10]

Variations

Variations include East Indian kadhi badi, Sindhi kadhi, Rajasthani kadhi pakoda,[11] and Kathiawadi kadhi.[12]
