This is one of my personal favorites, and the first time I had tasted it in a kathiyawadi restaurant. Since then I love making this whenever I get bored of making Sambar and Rasam. This Kadhi is an essential part of Gujarati cuisine. They like it to be thinner, use less began, unlike Punjabi kadhi which is thicker in consistency.
One thing to be kept in mind is to never cook the kadhi on very high flame and also use room temperature yogurt...so the kadhi won't split or curdle.
This simple recipe involves a lot of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cloves, cumin seeds, asafoetida which are all so good for digestion and light on the stomach. They also give a distinct and unique flavor to Kadhi and taste awesome without onion and garlic. With just a few ingredients, you can make this delicious kadhi in no time. So let's jump to the recipe.

Yogurt 1 cup
Dried Red chili 1
