Onion Kadhi in 10 Minutes

The first time I tasted onion kadhi was when Renu, my sister-in-law made it for us. From that time I have been hooked on to it.. Renu always made something different from the normal day to day food. My sister and I have enjoyed all the meals she had prepared for us. One very memorable recipes of hers was the onion kadhi, the taste of which I can still recollect. We call it "Renu's onion kadhi" and I wanted to post it because it is one of the most relished and popular side dish any time. Over the years the recipe has evolved and one change that I have made to the recipe is, I roasted the besan with the onions instead of cooking it with the buttermilk directly. This assured that the besan gets well cooked. No sugar is added to this recipe because the addition of onions makes it sweet enough.

  2. I make this too. I make it a little thick to go with rotis. I do add some other veggies like potato and sometimes bell pepper. Looks good.
