Karhi Badi
  • is a dish to be prepared on special occasions
  • With choicest of curries and adorning our plates kadhi badi (pakoda) dumplings (Curd based gravy with fried dumplings)

  • This dish is almost always prepared when the married daughter comes to her parents home

  • Unfortunately, it is one of those dishes that is not widely available
  • This goes very well served with gram flour dumplings in them - the kadhi imparts a tangy spiciness to the badi
  • The main ingredients required for preparing Kadhi badi are yogurt, gram flour (Besan), asafetida, chili powder, fenugreek and cumin seeds

  • The yogurt and gram flour is mixed together and is fried in oil tempered with cumin and asafetida, and is then cooked along with water
