KADHI CHAWAL

Kadhi chawal is a popular, rice based dish from India.The meal consists of besan (gram  flour), dahi (yogurt) and spices. As a punjabi, i'm a huge fan of homemade Kadhi Chawal . The essence and fragrance of this dish attracts me towards itself.
 Kadhi Chawal is flavored with an assortment of spices ranging from cloves and cinnamon to coriander seeds. The Pakoras are an added attraction that make the kadhi thoroughly irresistible. I usually get bored with daily routine of dal chawal, vegetables and all so,i need something change in the menu for that I love Kadhi Chawal the most.
