Kadhi Bari

Kadhi Bari

Kadhi Bari is a dish from Bihar. The word ‘Kadhi Bari’ means "fritters in flavored thick buttermilk". It is little similar to majjiga pulusu but with those cute fritters floating in buttermilk make this dish much more irresistible. This is a delicious dish we enjoyed & it is sure going to be regular on our menu.

Directions
For Kadhi
- In a pan take besan, turmeric, chili , coriander cumin powder, curry leaves & ginger garlic paste.
 - To that add yogurt & water. Mix them smooth without leaving lumps in the mixture.
- Now place pan on a stove top & cook it on low flame till it becomes thick & comes to a gravy consistency. Now add salt & later balance the kadhi taste if needed. 
For Bari
- Mean while in a bowl mix besan, ajwain, chili powder, onions, salt & little water to make a thick dough. Adjust salt & spice level if needed.
- Heat a pan with oil for deep frying. 
- When oil is ready & hot add a spoon full of dough in to oil. 
- Fry it till they are little brown. Now remove & strain them on a paper towel. 
- Repeat the same with rest of the batter.
- Mix bari with kadhi & allow them to rest.
For checking if oil is hot:
Let the oil get hot & add a little of besan in. If oil is hot and ready the besan will float on top immediately. 
Seasoning
- Heat a pan with oil. To that add mustard, jeera, curry leaves & red chili's. 
- Once the mustard starts jumping add hing & switch off heat. 
- Mix the seasoning with kadhi & serve warm along with rice. 
Note:
- Instead of cumin coriander powder you can add garam masala powder. 
- You don't have to limit yourself with onion fritters. Replace onions with any of your favorite veggie & relish this dish.

  9. The basic kadhi is same as Punjabi Pakoda Kadhi...I guess it is a different name in Bihar. Looks great with that chilly on top.
