FAQS
How do I make Boondi Kadhi thicker during the cooking process?
To make your Boondi Kadhi thicker, ensure you cook the yogurt and gram flour mixture on medium heat while stirring continuously. If you find it still too thin, you can add a little more gram flour mixed with water to achieve your desired consistency.
Is Boondi Kadhi suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes, Boondi Kadhi is suitable for a gluten-free diet as it is made with gram flour (besan), which is naturally gluten-free. Just ensure that the boondi you use is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
What can I substitute for boondi in Boondi Kadhi?
If you don't have boondi, you can substitute it with crispy fried chickpea flour noodles or even small pieces of fried paneer for a different texture. However, the unique taste of boondi is hard to replicate.
How should I store leftover Boondi Kadhi?
Store leftover Boondi Kadhi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water to loosen the consistency, as it may thicken in the fridge.
What dishes pair well with Boondi Kadhi?
Boondi Kadhi pairs wonderfully with steamed basmati rice or roti. You can also serve it alongside a side of vegetable curry or a simple salad for a complete meal.
