  7. Heat mustard oil in a kadai and add dry red chilli and allow them to change their colour.
  8. Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
  9. Add methi seeds/fenugreek seeds and a generous pinch of asafoetida/hing. allow the methi seeds to change their color. fry on a low flame, so that these spices do not get burnt.

  13. Now add curd mixture. Stir very well.
  14. Add boiled water if the mixture is thick. keep on stirring often so that the bottom does not get browned.
  15. increase the flame to medium and bring the kadhi to a boil.
  16. lower the flame and then simmer the kadhi for 30-35 mins..
  17. The kadhi will thicken and changes its color if the kadhi becomes too thick, then add some hot water.
  18. Now add the onion pakoras in the kadhi & stir gently.
