ABOUT Achari Baingan Ki Kadhi RECIPE

Kadhi is a very common dish in the menu platter of any North Indian homes. It is a sort of a comfort food and is best relished with plain steamed rice or any flavoured rice. Some people enjoy them with chapattis or any Indian bread too. They are sometimes served plain or with pakoras (fried fritters) / veggies added to it. Today I decided to add in some fried eggplants in an achari (Pickles) based yoghurt sauce. The end result was simply yummy and I enjoyed it with plain rice.
