About

This sweet and tangy yogurt-based stew is perfect for any chilly day. It is creamy and luxurious and gains brightness from the cilantro and lime juice that finish the dish. Besan or chickpea flour is used here as a thickening agent. This Gujarāti Kadhi, with its added sweetness and slightly thin consistency, is best paired with plain rice or Khichadi.
