Kadhi is loved by all generations. Normally, it takes long time to cook but in this recipe, kadhi can be prepared in an instant way. This recipe is good for young generation and working people who love kadhi and want to prepare it quickly.In this recipe, I have replaced pakoras with vegetables, since making pakodas take a lot of time. And also addition of vegetables make it a healthy option.
