Kadhi has been a main standing dish in the northern and western Indian cuisine. It is made from besan in many different varieties and served with roti or rice. Many people add pakora to the preparation, while some people use vegetables. At our home kadhi pakora used to be a weekly affair for us and as kids and we used to look forward to kadhi chawal in our lunches. Being the mango season, I added them to my preparation to make Aam Ki Kadhi. I got a wonderful sweet and tangy taste which went very well with rice. Just temper with right amount of chilies and enjoy a perfect flavor or this kadhi at home. Here is Aam Ki Kadhi Recipe for you.
