Ma's Yellow Kadi Recipe


This is one of my favorite Indian dishes that my mom makes. It is so easy to make.

Ingredients:
- Plain yogurt
- Gram Flour (besan)
- Vegetable oil
- Hing
- Huldi (turmeric)
- Jeera (cumin seeds)
- Mehti (Fenugreek seeds)
- Spinach leaves
- Salt

1) Mix 1 cup of plain yogurt and 2 cups of water in large bowl (use wire whisk to mix well so no yogurt clumps remain)
2) Mix 1 tablespoon gram flour (besan) with 1 teaspoon of water in a separate bowl
3) Mix the besan mixture with the yogurt/water combination (mix well)
4) Put this mixture in a saucepan and boil.
5) On a separate frying pan, place one teaspoon of oil. Heat oil. Add 1 pinch of hing and 1 teaspoon each of huldi, jeera, and mehti. Cook until jeera is slighlty brown.
6) Add #5 to the boiling yogurt/water mixture and mix well.
7) Add 2 cups of cut spinach leaves to this and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
8) Lower the heat and allow it to simmer (mixing it on occassion) for 15-20 minutes.
9) Once done, you can add more salt if needed.

Tastes great with plain basmati rice.
Enjoy!
