Kadhi Pakoda
.
We had an early start to the day as Mr. 12 had a full day engagement. I was hoping to drop by Murugan Idli Shop or MTR for breakfast but none of these places was open at that hour.
.
So we got back and ate random stuff for Breakfast. I asked
@mcsachin what he’d like for lunch and he said “Kadhi Chawal” without missing a heartbeat. He also suggested Khichdi - Kadhi as an alternative. But I’d already started planning Kadhi Pakoda in my head. So there wasn’t any going back.
.
I blended all the ingredients for the Kadhi in my
@kenstarindia blender. Using the
@boschhomesg stick blender with the grater attachment, I grated Carrots, Potatoes, Onions and Zucchini. I added the spices and Besan with Rice Flour and Salt and placed dollops of the batter on a lined Cookie sheet and baked them at 200C/400F for 20 minutes. When done, I transferred them to the air fryer with a coating of Oil while I baked the second batch.
.
I made the Kadhi using
@roopakspices Punjabi Kadi Masala. I almost considered making this in the
@instantpotsingapore to make it a no stove top meal, but since we all love the second tempering for which I have to turn on the stove anyway, I made the Kadhi on the stove top.
.
I made a quick Jeera Matar Chawal in the
@instantpotsingapore and then added the Pakodas to the Kadhi. Everything got a garnish of Coriander and I sliced some Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes because Salads are a must.
.
It was a lovely meal and I know that a full meal such as this is possible even if I run out of gas. The baked/airfried Pakodas are not the best for snacking on, but are brilliant for soaking up the Kadhi!
.
I only needed a nice nap after this meal, but that wasn’t to be. Nonetheless, this was a Saturday lunch done absolutely right.
