Oil-Free Vegan Kadhi for Paryushan

Kadhi can be made in so many different ways and different states follow different ways to make this... There is Gujarati kadhi, Rajasthani kadhi, Punjabi kadhi and maybe more that I don’t know of. Today, I’m sharing kadhi that is JAIN, VEGAN, and PARYUSHAN friendly. And guess what? It’s super DELICIOUS! Tastes almost like the usual dairy curd. It is similar to Gujarati Kadhi but I have made some changes to enhance the flavor as we cannot use fresh curry leaves (kadi patta) in Paryushan - a very important ingredient in kadhi. Also, plant-based curds have their own flavor and I add extra spices to mask that.

Yellow Moong Dal Dhokli

This one-pot meal is a great alternative to the Tuvar dal dhokli (pigeon peas dal dhokli). When cooked with yellow split moong dal, it turns out equally nutritious, light, and tastes delicious. The recipe is divided into two parts: dhokli/pasta (made from scratch) and the gravy: seasoning the dal. Just a note, if you do not like added sweetness, then this one's for you! No added sugar!
