Punjabi pakora kadhi | kadhi pakora | Punjabi pakoda kadhi recipe | with 25 amazing images.

Punjabi pakora kadhi is made with freshly prepared pakodis of besan perked up with coriander, green chillies and these pakodis are floated in a mouth-watering kadhi.

The Punjabi pakora kadhi is quite richly flavoured with an assortment of spices ranging from cloves and cinnamon to fenugreek and coriander seeds, and the pakoras are an added attraction that make the kadhi pakora thoroughly irresistible!

Make sure you simmer the Punjabi pakoda kadhi for just a minute or two after adding the pakodas so that they absorb the flavours but do not become soggy.

Notes and important tips on Punjabi pakora kadhi. 1. Put the besan in a deep bowl. It is better to sieve the besan and use it as it will avoid the grainy particles. This is the main ingredient for the pakodas for the Punjabi Pakoda Kadhi. 2. Add approximately 1/4 cup of water. Always add water little by little as more water will make the batter very thin resulting in the pakoras coming out shapeless and falling apart in the oil and less water will result in a thick batter that will be raw in taste after frying. Hence the batter should be of a medium consistency, not too thick, not too thin. 3. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and deep fry a few pakodas at a time on a medium flame. The oil should be hot as the pakodas need to be fried in hot oil to get a nice golden brown colour and proper texture. 4. Mix well and cook on a slow flame for 8 to 10 minutes, while stirring occasionally. The kadhi has to boil a little bit atleast for the rawness of the besan and curd to go away.

Besides Punjabi Pakoda Kadhi, dals also hold an important place in Punjabi meals, check out the popular Punjabi dal recipes like Dal Makhani , Panchratni Dal and many more.

My family loves Pakodas and Kadhi, So one Sunday morning I decided to try this recipe and it was perfect, The pakodas are so tasty that one can serve them just like that with ketchup and green chutney, but even when put in a Punjabi style kadhi it was fab !!!

Hi Manpreet, we don''t weigh the weight of the food we cook. We estimate the amount a serving size is. The key to take from the analysis of a recipe is if it''s healthy and fits into your lifestyle. When in doubt, eat less of that recipe. We present the facts as we see it. It has taken several years of research to create a detailed database of Indian foods to present to all our members are we love health. From our humble experience don''t get into weighing your food. That will just create stress to you and that itself will lead to stopping the fat burning process. Hope this answers some questions.
