Ingredients

• Gram flour (besan) - 4 tablespoons
• Plain yogurt - 1 cup
• Water - 3 cups
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Asafoetida - 1 pinch
• Green chilies - 1, slit
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Rice - 1 cup

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, yogurt, turmeric powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
2. In a pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Slowly add the yogurt mixture while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the kadhi simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, wash the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
5. In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the drained rice, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
6. In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida. Once they start to splutter, add slit green chilies and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute.
7. Pour the tempering into the simmering kadhi and add coriander powder. Stir well and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
8. Serve the kadhi hot over a bed of fluffy rice, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
