WHAT IS KADHI PAKORA?
Authentic Pakistani Kadhi Pakora is a traditional North Indian and Pakistani dinner recipe. It consists of fried Pakora (fritters) along with gram flour and yogurt-based curry and special seasonings. This curry is yellow in color due to turmeric and gram flour (besan). This is my dad’s favorite Pakistani recipe. My picky little brother is very fond of this recipe as well. It’s a vegetarian recipe and mild spiced recipe. Just follow simple instruction in the recipe and you’ll have the most mouthwatering Kadhi Pakora in your life.

INGREDIENTS
Gram flour- Also known as besan, It’s one of the key ingredients in Kadhi. Without it there’s no Kadhi and can’t substitute anything. Yogurt- Can’t get the right consistency of the Kadhi without it. Fresh lemon juice- Can’t get sourness in Kadhi without it. Ginger garlic paste- I used homemade but easily can substitute store-bought.
HOW TO COOK KADHI?
I know for many people making Authentic Kadhi Pakora can be intimidating so I am going to break it down for you.
HOW TO MAKE THE PAKORA (FRITTERS)?
HOW TO TAMPER AND ASSEMBLE KADHI?
Tampering is an essential part of this Khadhi Pakora recipe. For tampering kadhi use cumin seeds, long dry red peppers, curry leaves, and best of all garlic. A useful tip for tampering always tamper with medium to low heat, never try it on medium high. Here are the pictures that illustrates how to tamper and how to assemble the Kadhi.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Trick is NOT to whisk manually instead put everything including yogurt in a blender and see the difference in the texture of your kadhi. Use full fat yogurt. Always use gram flour or besan. Don’t use too much water when making fritters and also always use warm water. After frying the fritters, add them to the curry directly. Don’t put more than 7 fenugreek seeds, it will be extremely sour. Use full fat yogurt with fresh lemon juice to make Kadhi sour. Baking soda and yogurt are the key ingredient to make the pakora soft. After adding all the ingredients then let it set for 15 minutes.
