  3. Hi Payal
    try using hung curd for the kadi(tie curd in muslin cloth for 6-8 hours so all the sourness of curd drained with the water)and for the papad curry-first make the curry and add papad just before finishing the curry you need not to cook the papads for long.@payal bhartiya

  20. @ Meena I want to share 4 tips regrading your query –
    1-when ever you add curd in any gravy mix it very well before adding in the gravy.
    2-while adding curd, remove the pan from fire for few seconds.
    3-keep stirring the gravy after adding the curd otherwise it may curdle.
    4-mixing 1 t.s of flour(maida)in the curd, reduces the chance of curdling.
    hope these tips may help you:)
