Instructions
Step 1
To begin making the Gujarati Kadhi Recipe, we will first combine all the yogurt, besan, ginger, green chilli and jaggery along with 2-1/2 cups of water together in a bowl and whisk until smooth and there are no lumps
Step 2
Place the Gujarati kadhi mixture in a saucepan and heat until the kadhi begins to boil
Step 3
Keep whisking the Kadhi as it continues to boil, as this makes it smooth and creamy, thus giving it a perfect texture
Step 4
Once the kadhi has come together into a smooth and creamy mixture while it was boiling, turn the heat to low, and simmer to kadhi while we prepare the seasoning mixture
Step 5
Keep simmering for 5 to 10 minutes
Step 6
Simmer for at least 5 minutes before you can add the seasoning mixture
Step 7
This ensures that the raw smells go away and we get creamy and delicious Gujarati Kadhi
Step 8
Heat ghee in a sauce pan on medium heat; add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow them to crackle
Step 9
Stir in the curry leaves, cinnamon, green chillies and ginger
Step 10
Gradually, add the seasoning mixture to the above Gujarati Kadhi and allow the mixture to come to a boil
Step 11
Turn off heat and stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves into the Kadhi and the optionally steamed green peas and serve hot
