Gujarati Kadhi is a traditional Indian dish, specifically from the Gujarati region. It is a type of kadhi, a sour yogurt-based gravy, distinctively sweet and sour in taste due to the use of jaggery and tamarind.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients of Gujarati Kadhi are yogurt, gram flour, jaggery, and spices. The spices used include turmeric, cumin, ginger, and green chili. The dish is typically garnished with coriander leaves.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare Gujarati Kadhi, yogurt is mixed with water and gram flour to create a smooth mixture. This mixture is then heated on a low flame, with continuous stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Spices, jaggery, and tamarind are added to the mixture and allowed to simmer. A tempering of cumin, mustard seeds, and dry red chilies is prepared separately and added to the kadhi. The dish is garnished with coriander leaves before serving.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Gujarati Kadhi is typically served with khichdi, a dish made from rice and lentils. It can also be served with roti or rice. The dish is often part of a traditional Gujarati thali, a platter with various dishes.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Gujarati Kadhi is a staple in Gujarati households and is often prepared for lunch or dinner. It is also a popular choice for festive occasions and is often included in the menu for Gujarati weddings.
