Kadhi chawal is a North Indian favourite where tangy yoghurt and gram flour form a smooth curry, enriched with spices and crunchy onion pakoras. Served with jeera-flavoured basmati rice, it makes for a hearty and balanced lunch. This version follows a Punjabi-style preparation with simple steps that keep flavours authentic and homely.
