Wah !!!!! Pat on my back for getting this thought of making kadhi using ragi flour/millet flour/nachni flour – a nutritious dish/accompaniment to go with all kinds of flat bread and steaming hot rice !
Yes today when I was making preparations to make kadhi to pair along with cucumber wheat flour banale/karahi rotti , the instant idea that strike my mind is priceless.
Somehow I thought of putting ragi flour instead of some of the routine flours like gram flour, split green gram flour or sorghum flour and this ragi or finger millet tomato kadhi turned out to be superlicious as how I exactly had expected it to be.
Everyone at home also said that one can not make out that the kadhi is being prepared using ragi flour and it is definitely as yummy as any other type of kadhi – What else I can expect to feel good about myself – right !! I am definitely very very glad that I could do something extraordinary
However you can also have a look at some other kadhi recipes here on my blog – tomato/tamatar ki Kadhi , Peanuts/moongphali ki khadi , sweet kadhi (Guajarati) , Sorghum flour onion kadhi , Potato curd curry , methi kadhi
The south Indian version of Kadhi is normally made using buttermilk along with the vegetables like ash gourd , cucumber , chayote squash , green leafy vegetables etc and a small amount of grated fresh coconut is added along with spices & herbs like green chili, ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, cumin seeds etc and it is called as majjige huli or majjige Paldya
