Yummy yummy mango kadhi, relished with onion pakoda's. Kadhi's are very popular in northern India. This kadhi is sweet and sour in taste. You can enjoy this kadhi, on it's own.
First make Onion pakoda and keep it ready.
Ingredients
1 cup - Bengal gram flour / Besan
1 big - Onion, chopped
1/4 tsp - Turmeric powder
1/4 tsp - Red chili powder
1/4 tsp - Ajwain
Salt to taste
Method
1 ) In a bowl make a thick paste of besan, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ajwain and salt to taste with water.
2 ) Add chopped onions to the besan mixture and mix in well.
3 ) Heat oil in a wok or kadai. Take a small amount of prepared mixture and add to oil and fry to golden brown color. Strain and keep aside. In the same way make pakoda's with rest of the mixture.
You can serve this onion pakoda / fritters as a snack. Now for this recipe, keep pakoda's aside, to add later to mango kadhi.
This is similar to how cauliflower pokoda is made. Have a look to see pics....

Can we use Mango Kadhi with our Pakoda with rice?I like sweet and sour taste.Thanks for sharing.
Yes Kitchenfairy.Make pakoda's and add to mango kadhi.Goes very well with rice.It's less of sour taste and more of sweet taste, because of ripe mangoes. Almost like mambazha pulissery.

I heard of simple kadhi, methi kadhi , palak kadhi..But Mango kadhi is sooo new to me..I bet it would taste delicious with the tangy sweet and sour taste of mango
Hi Sushma : it's really a delicious kadhi to try...i hope you will try and let me know if you liked it :D
Hi...I was surfing last night, and came across your blog...First thing I saw was Mango Kadhi...So I just made it..Its a very complicated taste (in a great way)..We are not big fan of "sweetness" in Kadhi...so had to make some changes to accommodate our taste buds (added lemon, and mango pickles). I am now going to try dahiwali gobhi next..:)
Thank You for sharing...
Anonymous : Thanks for trying. Cooking with ripe mango will give kadhi a sweetish taste. Which is good if you like some sweet and sour taste :)
