Punjabi Kadhi

I first tasted kadhi, when in college & one of my friends had got it from home....I loved the taste & was told its best with chawal(rice)...Post that I have had the opportunity to have kadhi at Rajasthani restaurants....I loved the taste & wanted to make it at home...Thanks to Internet, nowadays finding a recipe is so very easy....I found the Punjabi Kadhi recipe interesting, as we make pakodis of onions & I love onion pakodas...:)
Here goes the recipe.....
This should serve 4 adults....

Ingredients:

For the Kadhi:
1.Curd- 2 cups(nicely beaten)
2.Besan- 3tbs
3.Salt to taste
4.Chilli powder- 1 tbs
5.Haldi powder- a pinch

For the Pakodas:
1.Onions- 2 nos(finely chopped)
2.Jeera- 1 tbs
3.Ajwain- 1 tbs
4.Chilli powder- 1.5 tbs
5.Salt to taste
6.Beasan- 2 cups
7.Oil to fry the pakodas

For the tempering:
1.Oil- 2 tbs
2.Onions-1 tbs(finely chopped)
3.Methi-1/2 tbs
4.Mustard- 1/2 tbs
5.Jeera-1/2 tbs
6.Coriander seeds-less than half tbs
7.Whole red chilly-2 nos
8.Karipatta

Procedure:
1.Make a lump free batter of the besan by adding enough water...I sometimes add 2-3 tbs of rice flour to make the pakodas crispy...Add the jeera,ajwain,salt,chilly & haldi powders...Mix well & finally add the chopped onions to it & mix well....
Heat oil for frying the pakoras & spoon the mixture into oil to make pakoras...remove the pakoras once they turn golden brwon & keep them on some absorbent paper to remove the excess oil...Keep aside..
2.Mix all ingredients for the kadhi & make a smooth lump free mixture....Add some water if it looks very thick...
3.Heat oil for tempering & add the mustard,jeera,red chilly,methi....once it starts crackling, add the chopped onions & karipatta...Stir for a minute & then add the kadhi mixture...Bring to a boil on low heat & mix well...Let it simmer for at least 10 minutes....Finally add the pakodas to this & switch off the flame...Let it sit for a few minutes before you serve....You could garnish with some chopped coriander leaves as well...
Enjoy kadhi with Plain boiled rice or hot chapatis....:)
