Punjabi Pakorewali Kadhi Recipe Card
This is what I eat when I am home after a long business trip, because kadhi chawal is home to me, especially when my mother makes it. Deep-fried onion and fresh fenugreek fritters in a yogurt and gram flour gravy – this basic ingredient recipe is fit for any day of the week. Punjabi kadhis are thicker than the ones prepared in most other states. Also Punjabis are mostly roti or bread eaters but when there is kadhi, it is definitely chawal that accompanies it.
