It's fun to watch how that white buttermilk mixture turns bright yellow as you stir this kadhi using fresh turmeric root.

1 tsp ginger, peeled, chopped or grated

Method

1. Whisk yogurt, water, salt and jaggery with besan. Make sure that no lumps of besan remain. Keep aside.

2. Heat oil or ghee in a saucepan. Add cloves, asafoetida , fenugreek seeds. As they sizzle, add chilies, ginger, mango ginger & fresh turmeric. Saute for 30 seconds.

3. Add yogurt mixture. Bring to boil while stirring continuously.
