Tips & Secrets

  • Using sour curd is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade authentic tangy depth that defines Gujarati Kadhi.
  • Ensuring the lilva beans are par-boiled before adding to the kadhi provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade uniform tenderness.
  • The addition of a small piece of cinnamon and cloves to the tempering provides the essential professional-grade warm-aroma lift.
  • Always stir the kadhi continuously until the first boil specifically to ensure the signature professional-grade smooth texture is maintained without curdling.
