We Rajasthanies have very different taste and absolutely different vision about the Indian Dishes. We always add a flavor to things which no body even thinks of. Rajasthani Kadhi is one of this Kind Indian Dish. While Gujaraties like their Kadhi a bit sweet, Rajasthani Kadhi is a Bit Khatti (Sour) in taste.

Whenever my mom use to order in the morning… Dahi(Curd) ko Fridge se bahar nikaal kr rakh do!!!!

and it becomes quite clear… we gonna have Kadhi in the Dinner. 🙂

You know… there was a logic behind keeping the curd out of the fridge in the morning. As it will turn the curd a bit Khatta(Sour) by the evening, which gives the Kadhi its real taste- The Rajasthani style Kadhi!!! Unique Cooking skills of Indians. Unique Flavors and absolutely a foodie’s delight.

When I was away from Mommy for my job and use to return home ones in a month or two just for 3-4  days, I use to have my own wish list for food. And Kadhi is definitely at the top.

It is simply the curd which is thickened using gram flour but it has its own taste I tell you…. and its definitely amazing. if you compare any Cheesy Dish say Cheesy Sweet Corns (recipe) with Rajasthani Kadhi…. its like Comparing the North and the South Poles of  Earth. Absolutely Different. But both have their own importance, their own taste and both are unique in itself. Also, time , mood and company etc. affects your choice of food.

My PG days have their own stories most of them are really interesting but I really had tough time with food those days. The cook in my PG doesn’t really cook good… or I should say… her cooking skills was horrible. In that case I have only one Life saver… The Colony opposite to my PG have their own mess. And for outsiders they use to charge.

But the Kadhi they serve, oh! that use to be just awesome. That was a life savior for me.

I really Don’t have an idea what are the Nutritional Contents of Kadhi but I can assure you it have an awesome taste. For me… this reason is absolutely enough to try it.
