Coconut Kadhi ( Microwave Recipe)
by Tarla Dalal
Coconut milk is gifted with a mellow flavour and a creamy texture, which makes any dish it is added to feel comforting and light yet pampering and rich at the same time! This Coconut Kadhi is an example of that rare class. It has a very light flavour yet feels intense, all thanks to coconut milk combined with a thoughtful assortment of spices and vegetables, and of course besan and curds too, which help to add tanginess and thickness to the preparation. This kadhi will complement any khichdi perfectly well!
