Kaju kadhi is my innovation. A tasty and equally good  variation of regular kadhi. The rich taste of cashews and fennel will linger on your taste buds for long.

Required ingredients

For kadhi

  • 3/4th cup cashew nut paste
  • 1 tsp green chilli paste
  • 2 cups yoghurt
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 tsp fennel powder or saunf powder
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 tbsp oil

For tempering

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 4-5 cashew nuts
  • 2 green chilli chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger cut into julienne
  • ½ small onion – sliced
  • 2 tbsp oil

For pakoris or dumpling

  • 1 cup gram flour –besan
  • ½ cup cashew nuts – cut into small pieces
  • 1 medium onion - finely chopped
  • 2-3 green chillies - finely chopped
  • 1 inch piece ginger; grated
  • 1 tsp carom seeds – ajwain
  • A pinch of baking soda
  • Salt as per taste
  • Oil for frying

Directions & How to

  • Whisk yoghurt with water, salt and fennel powder.
  • Heat oil in a deep sauce pan, put green chilli paste and fry a little, put cashew nut paste and fry for a minute.
