How to cook it
-
Whisk the curd with the water and besan until completely smooth, no lumps.
-
Add the turmeric and chili powder, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly so it doesn't split.
-
Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until the raw besan smell disappears and the kadhi thickens slightly.
-
Heat the ghee in a small pan and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and dried red chilies.
-
Once they crackle, add the curry leaves, then pour the tempering over the kadhi.
-
Season with salt, finish with cilantro, and serve hot with steamed rice.
