Kuttu ki kadhi
A yoghurt and buckwheat flour curry with dumplings
Many people all over India fast during the Navratri- the nine auspicious days when they do not consume sea salt, many grains, legumes, onion, garlic and many spices as well.
Buckwheat, however is consumed, as is rock salt.
This recipe is a take on ‘kadhi’- yoghurt and chickpea flour curry, where buckwheat flour is used instead to thicken the curry. Buckwheat dumplings are added to the curry that is tempered with cumin seeds.
