Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kasoori methi may be used instead of fresh fenugreek leaves, while preparing pakoras.<\/li>\n
  2. Use sour curd. If the curd is not sour, then the kadhi will not be sour to give the authentic taste. To make the curd sour, add a little salt and keep aside for 01 hour and then use in the preparation or you can add dry mango powder whilst cooking the kadhi.<\/li>\n
  3. Mustard oil must be heated to smoking temperature, cooled down and then heated again to give a tempering to the kadhi, for a pungent flavor to be imparted to the kadhi.<\/li>\n
  4. If kadhi has to be served after a while then reheat and add pakoras, as if they are added well before the kadhi is served then they tend to make the kadhi very thick and pakoras tend to become very soft and soggy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
