Punjabi Kadhi Pakodi Recipe| Side Dish For Rotis

February 11, 2012 By anusha 12 Comments

A very close cousin of the south indian mor kuzhambu, i love this tangy and creamy stew for its rich flavours and the chickpea flour dumplings. The moment someone says i am making kadhi pakodi at home, i have this shameless me popping out and saying ” Oh! How wonderful Can you send some over??” I dont make it at home often but whenever i do, we have a ball at home. We love dunking stuffed parathas into the stew and then lick our fingers. By now, i m sure you all would have understood my obsession for licking. I made this for lunch yesterday and we ate with the layered sesame parathas that i made alongside it. Mr. P however ate it with a lot of rice. He has a weird way of eating. Crumbling the pakodis along with the rice, mix the kadhi well and then start gobbling. Hmmm thats his way of eating and i ll tell you something … even i like that way!! Now i know there are many raised eyebrows.
