The humble kadhi transforms into grand fare in this delectable Palak Pakoda Kadhi recipe, where deep-fried spinach pakodas are simmered in lip-smacking yoghurt kadhi.


This traditional delight is one that kids and adults will enjoy thoroughly. Take care to add the pakodas only moments before serving so they remain crisp and succulent, just the way they ought to be.


Teams up well with hot rice and rotis as well.

This kadhi is not sweet like the Gujarati kadhis. But it is definitely equally tasty. The onions enhances the taste of the kadhi. The kadhi tastes best with the spinach pakodas. I have never had a tastier kadhi than this..
