Kadhi Rice

Kadhi Rice is a comforting and flavorful vegan Indian dish made with rice served alongside a tangy yogurt-based curry. This dish is not only delicious but also rich in probiotics and spices that promote digestion and health.

Ingredients

• Basmati rice - 1 cup (200g)
• Water - 2 cups (500ml)
• Chickpea flour (besan) - 3 tablespoons (30g)
• Vegan yogurt - 1 cup (240g)
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Green chilies - 1, slit
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Curry leaves - 10 leaves
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, vegan yogurt, turmeric powder, and enough water to make a smooth batter. Add salt to taste.
3. In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.
4. Add the grated ginger, slit green chilies, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
5. Pour the yogurt mixture into the saucepan and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 10 minutes until the kadhi thickens slightly.
6. Once the kadhi is ready, serve it hot over the steamed basmati rice, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
