Punjabi Kadhi
I have had punjabi kadhi for many years and I love it very much. I never miss to order punjabi menu when I am in a restaurant , it taste very good. Its spicy and it goes well with jeera rice. I have tasted gujarati kadhi too but punjabi kadhi is very spicy and I love heat in my food. I made this from on my punjabi book presented by my by friend. Its from Nina metha and I did slight alteration to it according to my taste. Linking this to valli cookbook challenge.

2. Now for kadhi, grind green chillies and ginger together. Then blend yogurt well in blender too. To this add turmeric powder,chilly powder,hing and salt. Beat it thick. Do not add much water.

Let it be thick if you want water you can add,usually punjabi kadhi is thick but I dilute it little bit too. Now add pakora/ pakoda just before serving it to your guest. If you add early it will not be crispy.
