 Sure! Here's an easy and simple recipe for Kadhi Chawal – a popular North Indian comfort food made with yogurt, gram flour (besan), and rice.


🥣 Ingredients for Kadhi:

  • 1 cup curd (yogurt) – slightly sour is better

  • 2 tbsp besan (gram flour)

  • 2 cups water

  • Salt to taste

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric (haldi)

  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder

🌶️ For tempering (tadka):

  • 2 tbsp oil or ghee

  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds

  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

  • A pinch of hing (asafoetida)

  • 1-2 dry red chilies

  • 5-6 curry leaves (optional)

  • 1 small chopped onion (optional, if you like it in kadhi)

🍚 For Chawal (Rice):

  • 1 cup basmati or any rice

  • 2 cups water

  • Salt to taste

👩‍🍳 How to Make Kadhi:

  1. Mix curd and besan in a bowl. Whisk well so there are no lumps.

  2. Add water, salt, turmeric, and red chili powder. Mix again.

  3. Pour this mixture into a pan and cook on low flame, stirring occasionally. Let it boil for 15–20 minutes.

🔥 Tadka Time:

  1. In a small pan, heat oil/ghee. Add mustard seeds and let them pop.

  2. Add cumin seeds, hing, red chilies, curry leaves, and chopped onion (if using). Cook until onions are golden.

  3. Add this tadka to the kadhi. Mix and let it simmer for 5 more minutes.

🍚 How to Make Rice:

  1. Wash the rice 2–3 times.

  2. In a pan, add rice, water, and salt.

  3. Cook on medium flame until the rice is soft and water is absorbed (or pressure cook for 2 whistles).

✅ Serve hot Kadhi with plain rice. You can enjoy it with papad, pickle, or fried potatoes too!
