Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1.5 cups Vegan yogurt
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 10 units Curry leaves
- 2 cups Steamed rice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (chopped)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, vegan yogurt, water, turmeric, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and there are no lumps.
Add grated ginger and chopped green chili to the mixture and stir well.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Slowly pour the chickpea flour mixture into the pot, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The kadhi will thicken as it cooks.
Adjust the salt according to taste and turn off the heat once the kadhi reaches your desired consistency.
Serve hot vegan kadhi over steamed rice, garnished with chopped cilantro leaves.
