To me, a hot and steamy bowl of Fulwadi ni Kadhi is not just a bowl of food that fills my tummy, but it is a bowl full of memories, childhood memories which brings in more than the tiding memories of taste and flavours of this lip-smacking yogurt soup.
If you are of Indian origin, by now you must have enjoyed Pakode wali Kadhi, Rajsthani Gatte ki Kadhi, Gujarati Kadhi or even Bindi ( Okra ) Kadhi, I bet you never heard of Fulwadi ni Kadhi. Must be intrigued by now, right?
Sure you are. Let me tell you that you will not find Fulwadi ni Kadhi recipe anywhere, as this recipe doesn't belong to any region of India, this recipe was churned out by my Granddad in India.
Fulwadi Ni Kadhi could be a year-round dish loved by all, but I love to devour once temperatures start dropping until the spring arrives. Hot and steamy Kadhi in a bowl, warms up your fingers, your body and above all warm up your soul.

The deep fried besan fulwadi soaking up all that gently spiced, slightly sweet and tangy yogurt kadhi is just so comforting, and the tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilli poured over at the end is what makes this one of those bowls of food that genuinely feels like home every single time.
