Kadhi Pakora is a popular North Indian dish that is known for its tangy and spicy flavors. It is the perfect comfort food for a cozy dinner at home. This dish consists of deep-fried pakoras (fritters) made from gram flour (besan) and yogurt-based curry flavored with various spices.
To make Kadhi Pakora, you will need the following ingredients:
For the pakoras:
– 1 cup gram flour (besan)
– 1 finely chopped onion
– 1 finely chopped green chili
– 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
– 1/2 tsp red chili powder
– Salt to taste
– Water as needed
– Oil for frying
For the curry:
– 2 cups yogurt
– 2 tbsp gram flour (besan)
– 1 tsp cumin seeds
– 1 tsp mustard seeds
– 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
– 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
– 1 tsp red chili powder
– 1 tsp coriander powder
– 1/2 tsp garam masala
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
To begin, start by making the pakoras. In a bowl, mix together gram flour, chopped onion, green chili, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Add water slowly to form a thick batter. Heat oil in a deep pan and drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until the pakoras are golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Next, prepare the curry. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt and gram flour until smooth. In a separate pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Once they start to splutter, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir for a minute and then add the yogurt mixture. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the curry thickens and comes to a boil.
Add the fried pakoras to the curry and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Kadhi Pakora can be enjoyed with steamed rice or roti. It is a wholesome and delicious meal that is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The combination of tangy yogurt curry and crispy pakoras is a match made in heaven. So, spice up your dinner with this flavorful Kadhi Pakora recipe and treat yourself to a delightful dining experience.
