Mango Kadhi is not the same as Fajeto
Over the years Mango Kadhi and Fajeto have been mistakenly used interchangeably for the same dish, they are two very different recipes and are served completely differently.
The original and traditional Fajeto recipe, which comes from Gujarat, is a thin mango based drink served after a spicy meal.
Mangoes are expensive, so Gujaratis (who are known to be frugal) would want to use the mango for consumption in its entirety.
After extracting the pulp for keri no ras or aam ras, the leftover pulp on the seeds would be used to make this drink called Fajeto. True Fajeto is a mango and yogurt drink with a tempering over the top.
Unlike kadhi, there is NO BESAN or gram flour in Fajeto giving the two entirely different tastes.
For those who have grown up in Gujarat or have elderly family members from Gujarat would serve Fajeto in this way and would not call it mango kadhi.
Mango Kadhi is not a traditional recipe at all but a modern take on the sweet white kadhi once we began experimenting with various flavours and ideas.
Here is our Authentic Fajeto Recipe
Gujarati Sweet Kadhi if you fancy also trying the plain version.
Ingredients for Ripe Mango Kadhi
1. Yogurt - for this kadhi we used full-fat greek yogurt. We prefer the taste of using creamy and thick yogurt to make kadhi rather than low fat.
2. Besan - an important ingredient in kadhi, besan/gram flour/chickpea flour is easy to find in supermarkets. Also called Chana no lot.
3. Mango Pulp - use either homemade pulp or tinned/canned mango pulp
4. Green chilli and ginger - crushed works best
5. Ghee - vegan use oil or vegetable ghee
6. Spices - cumin seeds, cinnamon and clove
7. Turmeric powder
8. Dried red chili
9. Curry leaves - fresh, frozen or dried
There is no need for any sugar in this Gujarati Kadhi as the mango pulp is already sweet
How to prevent Kadhi splitting or curdling
Do not cook kadhi on high heat, once it comes to boil. turn the heat on low and simmer kadhi.
Add salt immediately to prevent kadhi from splitting
Stir constantly - this is not a recipe where you can wander away from the kitchen or scroll through Instagram - it needs attention
Full fat yogurt works best.
Don't add less gram flour than the given measurement because you need enough flour to bind the kadhi.
What to do if Kadhi curdles?
If you think that your kadhi has split or has curdled, add more besan that has been mixed with water to make a smooth paste. Cook again and hopefully you have saved your kadhi!

How to store Kadhi?
Fridge - this kadhi will stay fresh for up to 3 to 4 days. Once the kadhi has totally cooled, place in tupperware and keep in the fridge. It may thicken, so add tablespoons of water at a time when re-heating.
Freezer - This kadhi freezes well. You must re-heat, once defrosted, on the stovetop and not microwave otherwise it will look as if it has split. You may want to add a little water at this stage too.
