Tips & Secrets
- Using sour curd is mandatory for achieving the most 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 uniform tenderness.
- The addition of a small piece of cinnamon and cloves to the tempering provides the essential warm-aroma lift.
- Always stir the kadhi continuously until the first boil to ensure the signature smooth texture is maintained without curdling.
