Kadhi Chawal

Kadhi Chawal 

Kadhi is made with yogurt which got sour in taste. Usually at my house my mom use to make this on sundays for the lunch. We use to have this with chawal/rice. Also, in kadhi we put pakoras which is made with potato, onions, gram flour and chilles. Its a deep fried snack which i love. So, whenever u are making kadhi make enough pakoras coz you will eat some of them while making.
