Yogurt Curry W/ Spinach Pakora

Kadhi or karhi is a traditional, nutritious, and a very delicious recipe originating from Punjab, and Rajasthan, in India.

It consists of a thick gravy or sauce created with the gram flour, and a bit sour yogurt or buttermilk.

Further, the vegetable fritters called pakoras are added to it, and finally finished with an unique seasoning. It is often served with cooked rice or roti.

Here, I have created it with wholesome spinach pakora.

Note: Yogurt Curry or Kadhi is my family favorite recipe. I have created many different versions of this recipe. We can make the gravy Sweet N Sour by adding a little jaggery or sugar to it. Again, I have tried adding boondi, thick Besan Sev, Spicy eggplant, Spicy cauliflower, moong sprouts to the yogurt gravy. They all taste super awesome.
