Instructions
 

Making Kadi Pakoda

  • Soak Dal in water for 4 hrs.
  • After 4 hrs, separate Dal from water.
  • Grind the Dal to make a fine & smooth paste.
  • After grinding, keep 2 tsp of Dal paste aside and use rest of the Dal paste for making Pakodi.
  • To make Pakoda: Add 1/4 Tsp Red Chili Powder, 1/4 Tsp Salt, 1/4 Tsp Coriander Powder and 1 pinch Baking Powder.
  • Keep on mixing it for 2 minutes. This will help to make soft Pakodi.
  • Heat Oil on high flame. Pick a small quantity of the mixture to make a pakodi and add gradually to the hot Oil for deep frying.
  • Fry on high flame until they become golden brown in color.
  • When they achieve light golden color from the bottom, flip them so that they achieve same golden color on all the sides.
  • Once they attain golden color, switch off the stove and take them out of the Oil.
  • Keep them aside on paper towel for later use.

Making Curry for Kadi

  • In the paste of 2 tsp Moong dal which we kept aside in the beginning, add Red Chili Powder, Salt and Coriander Powder with 1 cup of Water.
  • Grind this mixture to make a smooth paste. Once done, keep it aside for later use.
  • Add Oil to the pan and heat it on high flame.
  • In hot Oil, add Asafoetida and Red Mustard Seeds. Roast them for 20 seconds.
  • Once Red Mustard seeds are roasted, add Curry Leaves, Dry Red Chilies and Turmeric Powder.
  • Now add Dal mixture along with 3 cups of water. Mix well.
  • Keep the stove on high flame and bring it to a boil.
  • After a boil, turn the stove on low flame and let it cook for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, Kadi is ready. Do not forget to stir it occasionally in 3 min. time frame of cooking to avoid burns.
  • Now add Pakodi and cook for another 5 minutes on low flame.
  • After 5 minutes, switch off the stove. Moong Dal Kadi is Ready.
  • Before serving, we need to make a spicy Tadka. Which will enhance the taste of the Kadi. Lets learn how we can make that in just 2 minutes.

Making Spicy Tadka Dhaba style Tadka

  • Heat 2 tsp of Desi Ghee/Pure Ghee on low flame in a pan or a big spatula
  • Now add 1/4 Tsp or to taste Red Chili Powder.
  • Just after roasting the red chili powder, add it to the prepared Kadi. The delicious Kadi is ready to serve hot.
