There would be barely anyone who doesn't love 'kadhi'. But do you know this gram flour gravy is not made the same way everywhere? Every state has its unique way of preparing kadhi, which tastes entirely different. So by the taste of each kadhi, you can identify which state it belongs to. Right now, we are telling you the recipe for making Gujarati kadhi, which is sour-sweet and served with steamed rice or khichdi. However, it is a little thin, includes pakoras and has an exceptional taste of mustard and curry leaves. Do you know that Gujarati kadhi was included on the menu when Barack Obama visited India?
