I just love Kadhi. chawal. Whenever my mother used to make it. I had bowls of hot kadhi with lots of ghee. The aroma is still there. I really miss Mom. Looking forward to her visit this month. This time I will make kadhi for her. Making it is simple but getting it to the perfection is difficult.

Thanks everyone for taking time and commenting...

Suparna, If you have not tried this method of making gatta nu shaak/kadhi..try it..you r sure to like it..and its dam easy to make..

Varunavi,

Making kadhi is an art I would say,it might take some time to master, i too use to make mess while I was learning..for me this tricked worked..just add a bit more of channa flour to yogurt, then add water, while continuously stirring it until you see it has started to boil..You will be all set.
