1 onion

1/4 teaspoon asafoetida

1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

HOW TO MAKE BOONDI KADHI

Step 1 / 7 Make Besan Mixture

Add besan along with curd in a blender. Blend to form a smooth paste. Now add 4 cups of water to the paste and mix well to form a smooth mixture. Mix very well.

Step 2 / 7 Prepare The 'Chaunk' For Kadhi

Put a kadhai on heat. Add 2 tbsp oil to it. Add asafoetida, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, ginger-garlic paste and chopped onion. Saute the ingredients for a few seconds.

Step 3 / 7 Cook The Kadhi

Now add the besan mixture to the kadhai and keep the flame full. Keep stirring until it comes to a boil. Make sure you stir the mixture continuously otherwise it might curdle. Once a boil comes, you can stop the continuous stirring.

Step 4 / 7 Add Spices

Now add turmeric, dry mango powder and salt as per taste. Keep the flame medium and let the kadhi cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir once every two minutes to prevent the kadhi from sticking to the bottom. After 15 minutes, turn off the flame.

Step 5 / 7 Add Boondi

After switching off the flame, add boondi and mix well.

Step 6 / 7 Prepare The Tempering

Take a tempering pan. Add dry red chilli, mustard seeds, curry leaves and let them splutter for a minute.

Now add red chilli powder and give a quick mix. Now add this tempering to the kadhi and quickly cover the lid to let the kadhi absorb the flavours and aroma.

Step 7 / 7 Ready To Be Served

Serve the kadhi hot with rice or roti. Enjoy!
