Kadhi with Rice and Roti

Kadhi with Rice and Roti is a wholesome Indian dish featuring a tangy yogurt-based curry made with gram flour, paired with fluffy rice and soft roti. This meal is not only delicious but also comforting, making it an ideal supper choice.

Ingredients

• Yogurt - 200 grams
• Gram flour (besan) - 50 grams
• Water - 500 ml
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Curry leaves - 8-10 leaves
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Salt - to taste
• Cilantro - for garnish
• Cooked rice - 200 grams
• Whole wheat flour - 150 grams
• Oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Add gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well, adding water gradually to form a smooth batter.
2. In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds, allowing them to splutter.
3. Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and curry leaves to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour the yogurt and gram flour mixture into the pot, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the kadhi thickens.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the roti. In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour with water and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough. Divide into two balls and roll them into flat discs.
6. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook each roti for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, brushing with a little oil if desired.
7. Serve the kadhi hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside cooked rice and freshly made roti.
