Kadhi is my all-time favourite 😊
Do try it then 😊
Sure 👍
Hi! This is an amazing recipe. I had a doubt tho. Is the curd normal or hung curd because all the mixtures I make are made of hung curd. Pls clarify.☺️☺️😁
Thank you Aarushi. I am glad you liked my recipe. For making kadhi we always normal curd. No need to use hung curd here. We can say we are using buttermilk just added besan to it.
Oh ok thanks for the clarification..
You are welcome 🙂
