Kairi Chi Kadhi
by Tarla Dalal

Come summer, you will feel like making this Kairi chi Kadhi at least once a week because it is so tasty and in sync with the season! A tongue-tickling paste of coconut and raw mango forms the base for this kadhi, which is perked up with an aromatic, traditional tempering. Since raw mango is very sour, a little jaggery is used to balance the flavour. Enjoy this kadhi hot with your favourite Hariyali Matki Khichdi or plain Rice ( Cooked Rice)
