Rajasthani Dahi Kadhi is a spiced yoghurt-based sauce mixed with besan and other spices which is usually served with plain steamed rice or jeera rice or roti.
Coming to the recipe, the first time I made this Dahi Kadhi, it came out really well. It is a very popular dish in North India and is very easy to make at home.
The ingredients required for this recipe are basic ones which are readily available in any Indian kitchen pantry. Like curd, besan/gram flour, dry red chillies, cumin seeds, red chilli powder.

My partner for this month for Rajasthani cuisine Challenge is Sujata Roy who blogs at Batter up with Sujata. Do check her beautiful blog for delicious and mouthwatering recipes. She gave chilli powder and cumin seeds as my secret ingredients and I gave her curd/ Yoghurt and green cardamom as her secret ingredients and she came up with a lip-smacking Laal Maans recipe.

Kadhi Chawal(rice) is one of our favorite weekend brunches.. this looks so rich and creamy..i liked the used of bay leaves and urad dal in tempering which we do not add.
Comfort food at its best! Give me a bowl of kadhi and chawal and I'm the happiest person 🙂 Though I would love to have some pakodas in it too but the way you've made it is my go-to when I'm short on time - simple & delicious
Such a wonderful creamy kadhi preparation Pavani. Its really making me crave for some kadhi as I've not had it since I left my Bangalore home in April. Rajasthani kadhi is much thicker than the Gujarati version.
Lovely and so tempting kadhi. Its so simple to make when we are running out of time.
Craving this delicious kadhi now. It is pouring in my place n tonight hot kadhi with rice n papad sounds delicious. Beautifully made.

Dahi Kadhi looks so yummy, it is a comfort food for me. This is really a quick fix menu in 30 minutes.
Kadhi - total comfort food for me. This kadhi has bowled me over with the images. Tadka is so important in flavouring a kadhi, and yours look like little jewels on the surface of the kadhi! So tempting!
Dahi Khadi looks very creamy and tasty, loved the way you added the tadka it's very tempting. Loved have this plain dahi khadi with hot hot pulkas 😋
That platter is so Filling with that thick creamy kadhi. Love love the way it has thickened and the tadka to improve all that excitement.
Kadhi chawal is my favourite combo. Your looks lipsmackingly delicious. Always made kadhi with pakoda or potatoes. Loved this kadhi with tempering only. I will also make it following your recipe. You have a wonderful blog.
