Happy Easter long weekend! And happy Friday! 😁 Felt like playing with makeup this morning so I guess I got all dressed up to go grocery shopping... and then J reminded me it’s Good Friday and everything is closed! 😫😫😫⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Luckily my local desi grocer is never closed! So we still managed to pick up a few things on the list this morning. I’ll be doing some meal prepping for ramadan (it’s only a week away!😲) - making some paleo Shami kebabs (recipe is on the blog).⁣

And I learnt my moms secret to making crispy fluffy pakoras - add a touch of baking soda right before frying to get them soft and fluffy on the inside! 🤫😄😉

Mom’s Pakora Kadhi recipe!👏🏽
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Super simple and gluten free! This one is made with chickpea flour (besan) to help thicken the broth and to make the pakoras. The curry has yogurt in it and becomes this tangy creamy goodness that is super addictive!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We like to serve pakora kadhi with rice. But honestly I can eat bowlful of this just as is. Soup style!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The ingredients list seems a bit long but you probably already have this stuff in your kitchen already. And it comes together very easily. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Full recipe is up on the blog and YouTube too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the Kadhi:
1/2 cup besan (chickpea flour)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cup buttermilk (or yogurt mixed with water)
3 cups water
lemon juice (optional)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the Pakoras:
oil for frying 
1 cup besan (chickpea flour)
2 tbsp corn flour
1 tbsp crushed coriander seeds
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tsp salt
1 large green chilli, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
water, as needed
1/4 tsp baking soda
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the Tardka (tempering):
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
2-3 whole dried red chilli
5-6 curry leaves
1 tbsp crushed garlic
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you had pakora kadhi before?
