Kadhi is most relished among the people of North India and Punjab called as Kadhi (not to be confused with curry), they enjoy it with rice (chawal) thus it is called “Kadhi Chawal”. A recipe which is tangy, spicy and mouth-watering is prepared with sour yogurt which gives sourness and along with batter prepared from gram flour which helps to balance the level of sourness. One has to beat the batter to a smooth consistency; this prevents formation of lumps while preparing kadhi.
