  6. Wow, this is new to me..looks very yummy..shall try and let you know...meanwhile for the concern regarding kadhi...Varunavi,

    Making kadhi is an art I would say,it might take some time to master, i too use to make mess while I was learning..for me this tricked worked..just add a bit more of channa flour to yogurt, then add water, while continuously stirring it until you see it has started to boil..You will be all set
