Sprouts Kadhi
by Tarla Dalal
Give your regular kadhi a nutrient boost by adding sprouts to it. A traditional tempering gives the Sprouts Kadhi an appetising aroma, while ingredients like green chilli paste and spice powders give it an irresistible flavour.
The sprouts not only contribute immense nutrients and fibre but also a variety of textures, which makes the kadhi more toothsome. A perfect addition to lunch or dinner, this Sprouts Kadhi is quite flavourful without using too much salt, making it ideal for those with high blood pressure.
Serve with rotis and rice .
