Kadhi is preparing by cooking together curd and besan flour and then flavored with spices, finally topped with pakoda. It tastes best with rice or even roti. It has a cooling effect and very good for the body. Now lets see how to prepare Punjabi Kadhi Pakoda.

        1.    In a mixing bowl add in the chopped spinach leaves and onion. Next add in the Besan flour and toss everything together.

    2.    Next add in the Chilli powder, Turmeric powder and required Salt. Toss well so that all the spice powders and the besan flour are mixed evenly. Now sprinkle and add the water little by little. So that it comes together and hold shape when dropped in oil for deep frying.

    3.    Heat oil for deep frying when its really hot, drop in small balls of the pakoda and deep fry in batches at a medium flame.

    4.    Fry till golden brown and when the pakodas are cooked, drain from the oil and keep in paper towels.

      One of our favourite and regular meals . Infact many a times I make a diluted version without pakoras , add spinach and drink it as a soup ! Your version looks perfectly made !

      So similar yet different from mor kulambu. I love kadhi because of that, and this pakora version is one of my favorite. You have made it perfect.
