Palak Kadhi -Low Fat Spinach Yogurt Gravy

by Joy April 23, 2020
by Joy April 23, 2020 0 comment

Kadhi is originated from Indian Sub-continent. It is made by yogurt, a thick gravy based on chickpea flour (Besan) and contains fritters called pakoras. The Low fat Palak Kadhi Pakodi is a healthy and gluten free dish.
As we all know that Spinach/Palak is full of iron and minerals, and it is combined with the added benefits of curd/plain yogurt.
I made the Pakodi/fritters with Besan/gram flour/Chana dal powder, which in itself is rich in protein. I am making these fritters with the help of an Appe (Appam) pan, which you can easily buy from Indian stores, or online.
Let’s cook this healthy version of Kadhi! I am sure that you guys will love it!

6. After the 3-4 minutes , open the lid and flip the fritters to the other side with the help of the spatula that usually comes with the pan. Well ! I could not find mine, so I used a plastic fork.

7. It will take 3 or 4 minutes for the other side to cook.
8.When both of the sides are cooked ,they will have nice little golden brown spots. You can also put a fork inside to check if it is cooked. If it goes in easily, it is cooked. If it doesn't, you need to cook it for another 1-2  minutes.

Notes

As mentioned in ingredients section, Kadhi will be best on it's flovr if the yogurt is sour. If yogurt being used is not sour you can use amchur powder mix with some hot water and add in to Kadhi.
