Hi,
I am Chandrika from Trivandrum.I tried out this recipie of yours and it came out very well…It was very good
Fantastic and sumptuous.
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
Hi Anjana di,
I want few tips from you.I am in Australia,I buy plain yogurt here,but whenever I prepare kadhi or kadhi subji i becomes sour do you have any tip for this, also I buy lijjat papad and subji of that papad becomes like atta,how can this be avioded if you are roating papad and then preparing subji.

New curry variety.. Looks inviting
@ spice up the cury-methi seeds are soaked and boiled to get rid of the bitterness..try it,it taste great, not bitter 🙂
very new recipe to me.. when i try this,i will roast the pappad to get rid of oil..thanks for the tips too..
I saw some kind of similar recipe in sanjeev kapoor's cookbook. but I always thought that because of methi it will taste bitter. could you please tell me does it taste bitter or not?
@Maayeka
ah thats cool i would keep ur tips handy and try them as u said
it always curdles whenever i add now i didnt know about that
@ 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:)
very innovative and interesting recipe.
Wow! that's an interesting curry. Never heard of it before. And healthy too..
this looks delicious anjana. i have never heard of this combo
however i have one query and want to ask everyone.
dahi is used here but whenever i have used dahi like this in other gravy dishes it just sort of breaks up
u know ekdum dana dana type
so can u pls tell me what am i doing wrong so i can rectify it.
thanks
Delicious looking rajasthani recipe.
