Why is onion curry made necessary?
Pyaaz Kadhi is a must-try dish due to its simplicity and depth of flavour. The best part about this dish is that it requires minimal ingredients, making it easy to prepare. The star of the show is the caramelised onions, which add a sweet and savoury flavour that beautifully complements the earthy flavour of the kadhi. The tangy yogurt base further deepens the flavour of the dish, creating a balanced flavour profile. This is a great meal for any occasion, especially when unexpected guests drop by and you want to impress them!
How to ensure that your onion curry turns out thick?
It is a very common problem for the kadhi to turn thin and watery. While it may be covered when served with crispy pakoras, it can be a mess with onions. To ensure that your kadhi is thick, adjust the consistency of your ingredients. If you want to make it thicker, add more gram flour to the curd mixture and let the ingredients cook for a longer time on low flame. This will make the kadhi thicker. However, make sure to balance its flavour with the spices and seasonings.
