Singhare ki kadhi recipe or Vrat ki kadhi - It is made during the Hindu fast or vrat. It is thick sour gravy made from water chestnut flour and yogurt.
The procedure is same as usual kadhi recipe. The difference is the flour used in the kadhi. We are using fasting flour - singhare ka atta (Water chestnut flour). In regular kadhi we use besan to make it.
For tempering this vrat ki kadhi, curry leaves and dried chili are used. All family has different fasting rules. Many does not eat curry leaves and red chili. While some do. So always adjust the recipe as your family rules.
At my home, we call this a farali kadhi. We add suffix ‘farali’ to any fasting food. e.g. farali chutney, farali batata vada, farali sukhi bhaji.
I have added cinnamon powder in the kadhi which gives nice flavor and taste. So please do not skip it.

Thanks for sharing. loved both recipes- Sama ki chichi and tutu ki kadhi.
Glad to know you liked.
hiho, what kind of yogurt is used to make kadhi? In Europe one gets jogurt with 3,5% fat content. This one contains relatively much water I think. Alternatively one can get yogurt 'greek style' with higher fat content (about 8%-10%). Tzatziki is made of the latter one.
You can use any kind of yogurt. If yogurt is more watery then add more yogurt and less water. If yogurt is thick then use less yogurt and more water to get right consistency. I have used regular plain yogurt made from whole milk.
