Boondi ki kadhi -A  delicious and easy to make kadhi from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab

Boondi ki kadhi is very easy to make yet taste awesome, it is the favourite kadhi of my family. Kadhi is made with gramflour/besan and there are numerous varieties of kadhi’s you can make with besan and yogurt. Each Indian state and families have their own version or favorite recipe of making kadhi.

The curry of each kadhi is made with besan and yogurt but the proportion of besan and yogurt differs in each recipe. Though there are few kadhi recipes which does not have yogurt at all like Sindhi kadhi and Bhatia style kadhi ,in these kadhi’s Tomato puree or kokum and imli is added for sourness instead of yogurt.

This boondi ki kadhi is very popular in my community and for all weddings and celebrations it is made and is also cooked regularly. Boondi Kadi,  Mogar Daal  and Rice is a very popular combination for lunch in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and in my community.  My grandmother and my mom always make besan boondi at home for making boondi ki kadhi .

Now as ready made boondi’s are easily available so I prefer to use that to make my work easier. You can make besan boondi at home or use the ready made available plain besan boondi ,as per your choice

How to Make Boondi Ki Kadhi

The recipe is quite simple to follow. You need sour yogurt and gram flour for making this kadhi. Mix yogurt and gram flour /besan properly ,using a hand blender makes the work easier. Then add enough water to adjust the consistency . Add chopped green chilies ,ginger and the spices and let it boil for about 45 minutes.

First it looks thinner but after cooking it for about 45 minutes-1 hour it will thickens. Now add boondi and then the tempering. Just before serving add lemon juice and fresh coriander and enjoy hot kadhi with this  Sookhi moong daal and steamed rice !

    Im surely gonna make this in next 2 days need to set curd and then sour it up 😛 I had a question, you had added boondi as such, but can i 1st soak in water and remove the excess oil it holds?? since my parents r in restricted diet, I dont find heart to serve them such rich food. Im sure it will go well with roti 🙂
