DirectionsStep1In a bowl take the sour curd and whisk it well till smoothStep2Add gram flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder and salt to the whisked curd.Step3Stir and mix everything again.Step4Add 3 cups water and stir again.Step5Stir very well to make a smooth mixture without lumps. If there are lumps, then break them with a wired whisk or a spatula or with your fingers. Set the curd slurry aside.Step6You can use a blender to make this mixture, but make sure you don’t over do it. You will get butter instead of a smooth blended curd.Step7Take the gram flour in a bowl and add carom seeds, red chili powder, garam masala powder and salt.Step8Add 1 cup thinly sliced onions.Step9Mix everything well and set aside covered for 30 minutes.Step10This will allow the onions to release their water in the mixture. Depending on the water content in the onions, the mixture will become very moist or just about moist.Step11Then accordingly add water as required to make a thick batter. I added 1⁄4 cup water.Step12Heat oil for deep frying in a pan or kadai. Let the oil become medium hot. Then with a spoon carefully drop the pakora batter in the oil.Step13When the pakora are partly cooked, then turn over and fry the other side.Step14Fry till the pakora are crisp and golden.Step15Remove the fried pakora and place them on a kitchen paper towel so that extra oil is absorbed. Fry the pakora in batches this way. When done set all of them aside.Step16In another pan or kadai, heat mustard oil. Make sure to use a large bottomed pot so that while boiling, the kadhi does not spill.Step17Add the cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds and asafoetida. Allow the cumin seeds to crackle and the fenugreek seeds to change their color. Fry on a low flame, so that these spices do not get burnt.Step18Add chopped onions. Stir and sauté for 3 minutes on a low to medium-low heat.Step19Then add chopped ginger, chopped garlic and chopped green chillies. Stir and sauté for a minute.Step20Now add curry leaves, dry red chilies (halved or broken and seeds removed). Stir and sauté for a minute on a low flame.Step21Then add the curd slurry.Step22Stir very well.Step23Increase the flame to medium and bring the kadhi to a boil. Keep on stirring often so that the bottom does not get browned. Time taken to cook kadhi will be around 14 to 16 minutes.Step24After the kadhi has come to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for more 6 to 7 minutes. The kadhi will thicken.Step25If the kadhi becomes too thick, then add some hot water.Step26Now add the onion pakora to the kadhi and stir gently.Step27Cover with a lid and let the onion pakora be soaked in it for 8 to 10 minutes.Step28Lastly sprinkle some garam masala powder.Step29Serve kadhi pakora with steamed rice or cumin rice, topped with few teaspoonfuls of ghee.
