Kadhi Pakora is a popular Pakistani dish and quite different from curry. It is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. It contains a thick gravy based on usually chickpeas flour (gram) and contains pakoras, to which yogurt is added to give it a slightly sour taste. It is often eaten with boiled rice and roti or naan
The dish is seasoned with sautéed cumin, whole red chilies, and curry leaves after preparing the kadhi pakora. The main kadhi dish is made from gram flour along with sour yogurt to thicken the consistency, and it incorporates pakora (or phulki). It is typically enjoyed with long-grain basmati rice or, more commonly, with roti.
Unlike the variations found in other states, Pakistan and India have their own unique takes on this basic dish, which may include different vegetables and meatballs.
As I mentioned in my last post, I will be making kadhi using the masoor dal phulki recipe by adding masoor dal fritters, which I have already shared. This version differs slightly from the typical kadhi recipe. I encourage you to try this unique recipe: Masoor Dal Kadhi.

This Pakora Kadhi Recipe is finger-licking for Desi Food lovers. So let me the go-ahead to know how to make masoor dal kadhi.
- Stale kadhi actually tastes more flavorful than freshly made kadhi.
Put all dry spice powders into the yogurt mixture and further mix them well, keeping aside. Heat the oil and add whole spices to the oil
Then transfer to the serving bowl/dish.
Tips:
- Don’t leave the kadhi unattended, even for a minute, while it’s boiling to prevent it from sticking to the base of the pot.
- After boiling, the kadhi can be left on a low to medium heat until it is properly cooked.
- Masoor kadhi will not have the thick consistency of besan kadhi; it will be slightly thinner.
- You can add meatballs or any vegetables instead of pakoras.
- Give it plenty of time to slow cook; the longer it cooks, the more delicious and flavorful it will become.
- It's best to cook the kadhi a day in advance before serving.
