HOW TO MAKE METHI OR FENUGREEK KADHI RECIPE

In a mixer grinder, add the gram flour, ginger, green chillies and curd.  Blend to a smooth paste.

Add salt and turmeric powder to the smooth paste.  Add 2 cups of water to it  and blend well again.

Keep this curd mixture aside.  Heat oil or ghee in a pan on medium flame.  Add hing, mustard seeds and cumin seeds.  Allow the seeds to splutter.

Once the seeds stop spluttering, add methi seeds, red chillies and chopped methi leaves.  Saute on low flame for 2-3 minutes till the methi leaves start shrinking.

 

Add the curd mixture and mix everything well.  Add water at this time and adjust the consistency either thick or thin, as required by you.  Cook on a low to medium flame for 10-15 minutes till the mixture starts thickening.  Once the kadhi comes to a nice boil,  switch off the flame.

Serve methi kadhi with steamed rice and enjoy!!
