Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt
- 500 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 1 pinch Asafoetida
- 2 whole Dried red chilies
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and water until smooth, then add turmeric powder, ginger paste, garlic paste, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida, and whole red chilies. Stir for a few seconds until the seeds are aromatic.
Add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour in the yogurt mixture, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
Increase the heat to medium, continue stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Lower the heat and let the kadi simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot, traditionally with cauliflower rice or any low-carb alternative.
