Kadhi Pakodi (or just kadhi), is a popular North Indian preparation that consists of a thick mildly spicy gravy made of gram flour, yogurt, and spices, with batter fried dumplings, called pakodi, in it. This dish sees slight variations across the North Indian region, with different cooking method and ingredients incorporated in different states. For example, a typical Bihari kadhi mostly has a plain gram flour dumpling; a Gujarati kadhi is slightly sweet in taste; Sindhi kadhi is of a thinner consistency made for a more spice loving palate; while a Punjabi kadhi pakodi features batter-fried onion fritters (pyaaz pakodi) in place of a plain pakodi; and so on.
