GUJARATI KADHI

I have converted this Kadhi into a healthier option by using low fat curds and replacing ghee with oil. Gram flour (besan) has a low GI of 27. The only unhealthy part is the sugar. Not sure how to solve that. You need to cut sugar levels in your experiment!

Cooking Time : 15 min.
Preparation Time : A few min.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons gram flour
2 teacups low fat curds
1 teaspoon chilli-ginger paste
2 curry leaves
2 tablespoons sugar (approx.)
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
salt to taste

For the tempering

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
a pinch asafoetida
1 red chilli broken into pieces
2 teaspoons oil

Method


1. Mix the gram flour, curds and 3 teacups of water. Beat.


2. Add the chilli-ginger paste, curry leaves, sugar and salt and put to boil.


3. Boil whilst stirring for a while.


4. Prepare the tempering by heating the oil and frying the cumin and mustard seeds until they turn brown. Add the asafoetida and red chilli.


5. Add the tempering to the kadhi and boil for a few minutes.


6. Sprinkle coriander on top and serve hot.
