Kadai Veg is a vibrant and aromatic semi-dry North Indian curry made with a medley of vegetables and freshly ground spices. It is named after the 'Kadai' (Indian wok) in which it is traditionally cooked over a high flame to retain the crunch of the vegetables. The dish is defined by its use of 'Kadai Masala,' a robust blend of coriander seeds and dried red chilies. It features chunky bell peppers and onions that provide a wonderful textural contrast to the soft carrots and beans. This aromatic dish is a popular restaurant favorite, typically served with garlic naan or tandoori roti.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • The Kadai Masala should always be coarsely ground, not a fine powder, to provide that signature rustic texture.
  • Do not overcook the capsicum and onions in the second stage; they must remain vibrant and crunchy for the best experience.
  • If the masala becomes too dry during cooking, add a few tablespoons of warm water instead of cold to maintain the flavor.
  • Adding fresh ginger juliennes as a final garnish provide a sharp, fresh bite that elevates the spicy profile of the dish.
