Kadhi

India

Kadhi is a beloved regional dish across North India, its tangy yoghurt base offering a welcome contrast to richer curries on a typical thali.

A tangy North Indian yoghurt-based curry thickened with gram flour and studded with spiced fritters, traditionally served over rice — sour, comforting and distinctive.
