Ingredients

  • ½ cup rice
  • 5 tbsp 5-6 tbsp gram flour/besan
  • 2 cups vegan buttermilk
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds (rai)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Pinch of asafetida (hing)

Method

  1. Wash and rinse the rice. Pressure cook it by adding three times the quantity of water. Let it cook for 3-4 whistles.
  2. Allow it to cool. Now add 3-4 tbsp of besan, salt, turmeric, and chili powder to the cooked rice.
  3. Make small balls and keep them aside.
  4. Add salt and 2 tbsp of besan to vegan buttermilk and mix properly so that there are no lumps.
  5. Heat oil in the pan and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds when the oil is hot.
  6. Allow them to splutter. Now add turmeric and chili powder to the pan.
  7. Immediately add the buttermilk mixture to the pan. Allow it to boil while stirring it continuously.
  8. Add the rice balls to the boiling buttermilk.
  9. Let it cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Serve hot.

Notes

This kadhi goes well with cooked jeera rice or quinoa. My family enjoys it, especially during Paryushan days.
