Indian Dal and Kadhi Recipes | Easy Dal Recipe Collection | Delicious Kadhi Recipes for Everyday Meals | Dals and Kadhis are side-dishes without which an Indian meal never seems complete! They balance a cereal-based meal in terms of nutrition and flavour, making it more satisfying in all respects. Be it a Sambhar or More Kuzhambu from south India or a Panchmel Dal or Pakoda Kadhi from the north, these are indispensable parts of a traditional meal! Dals are made of pulses or lentils while Kadhi is made of curds. Both rely on tempering for their exquisite flavour, and both categories can be enhanced by adding vegetables and spices. Here we show you some exciting ways in which Dals and Kadhis can be prepared…

Famous Indian Kadhi Recipes
Gujarati Kadhis
Kadhi is a traditional Gujarati preparation of a wonderful sweet and spicy curd mixture thickened with besan (gram flour), which can be enhanced in many ways using other ingredients like pakoras and koftas. Remember never to boil the kadhi on a high flame as it tends to curdle. If you want your traditional gujarati kadhi thick, then add more besan or reduce the quantity of water. It’s really a personal choice of how to make gujarati kadhi! A little sugar is added to the gujarati kadhi to give a sweet and sour taste.

Punjabi Kadhis
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!
