Kadhi is made in two phases. First we make aloo pakore and then make gravy to add to it. Below are the steps in detail.

Phase 1: Making Aloo Pakore

1. Take 2 raw potatoes, cut them in cubical shape.
2. In a medium bowl, add 4-5 spoon of kuttu ka aata, 1 chopped green chilli, 1/2 tsp rock salt, 1/2 tsp cumin seed and water. Mix them well. Batter should neither be too thick nor too watery.
   

   
3. Mix potatoes with the batter.
   

   
4. On medium flame, fry already cut potatoes coated with batter till they become brown in color. Keep them aside once done.
   

   

   

Phase 2: Making kadhi gravy

1. 1. Take the remaining batter from step 3 above. If the quantity feels less, add another spoon of flour to the batter and a little water to make a smooth paste.
      

      
   2. Mix 2 tbs spoon of yoghurt with the remaining batter.
      

      
   3. In the same pan, reheat 2 tbsp of oil, add curry leaves, cumin seeds, green chillies. Stir for 2 mins and add 1 tsp grated ginger and saute them all for 3 mins
      

      
   4. Add yoghurt-flour paste, keep stirring for 5 mins.  Pour some water and further stir for 5 min. Add salt and cumin powder to the paste.
      

      

      

      
      

      

      
   5. Add 3 cup water and leave it to simmer over low flame for at least 15 mins
      

      

      
   6. Add the aloo pakoras, simmer for 5 minutes more and serve the aloo ki kadhi hot.

Sharing is caring :-

• To make sure that the oil is heated enough,  just add a drop of better to the oil. If the batter solidifies and rises up to the surface of oil, oil is good to go.

Have a blessed Durga puja!
