I have made the kadhi I have followed your delicious recipe but I have added different twists as my mother-in-law who was from India used to do. I add some fresh spinach a few minutes before kadhi is ready I have also made the kadhi with about 8 okras/bhindis too by slicing them in two and just putting to the khadi 10 minutes before end of cooking We eat the kadhi with kidgeree which is red lentils/masoor daal and rice cooked together as is traditional in my in-laws household Sometimes a chutney made of coriander lemon mint garlic chillies salt Thank you

Hi Priyanka, Mix little besan with room temperature water and add it to kadhi & stir it continuously or else it might curdle.

i like all the recipies. But please add a measurement like international cooks. When is 1tbsp it can be australian 20 ml spoon or amercian 15 ml or british 18ml. Also when you say a cup please mention 250 ml cup or 220 ml cup. This is necessary for new cooks. Also , for e.g. if I add some extra ml of baking powder for a cake it goes haywire. Hence requesting you to standardize the measurements
