I have learned this recipe from Aparna, a very good Gujarati friend of mine. Aparna makes awesome Gujarati food and her Kadhi is just so yummy. Gujarati kadhi is a little different from North Indian kadhi. It is a little sweet in taste and is usually served with Khichdi (dal and rice dish) and roti or rice. Gujarati kadhi is considered as a very light meal. I love Gujarati food and make it very often. Please do try this Gujarati kadhi recipe and please do share your thoughts.
