Instructions

Heat oil in a pan and sauté the cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant.
Begin by heating a couple of tablespoons of oil or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until you can smell their aroma, which signals they are fragrant and ready for the next step.

Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until they are slightly tender.
Now, add the chopped okra, carrots, potatoes, and green beans to the pan. Stir well to combine with the seeds and oil. Let the vegetables cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they start to become slightly tender. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Mix in the spices and cook for a minute.
Add the turmeric powder and red chili powder to the pan and stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices. Let it cook for about a minute, allowing the spices to infuse into the vegetables.

Combine yogurt with water and add it to the pan, then bring to a simmer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and water until smooth. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and spices in the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Let it cook until the curry thickens, then season with salt.
Reduce the heat to low and let the kadhi simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until it has thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once it has reached the desired consistency, add salt to taste and stir well.

A delightful foray into North Indian cuisine! I must say, the Vegetable Kadhi recipe has won me over with its creamy yogurt base and medley of veggies. The addition of cumin and coriander seeds provides a lovely depth of flavor. I particularly enjoyed the straightforward instructions and manageable prep time. As a Danish food enthusiast, I appreciate the similarities between this dish and some of our traditional open-faced sandwiches – the combination of flavors and textures is quite satisfying. If I were to suggest an improvement, it would be to add some crunch, perhaps a sprinkle of crispy onions or a side of papadum. Nonetheless, this recipe has earned a solid 4 stars from me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pair this with a local craft beer – cheers!

Assalamu alaikum, I recently tried this Vegetable Kadhi recipe and it was quite delicious! As someone who enjoys traditional Pakistani cuisine, I appreciated the flavors and spices used in this dish. However, I did have to make a slight modification to accommodate my lactose intolerance. I replaced the yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative, which worked well in the recipe. The curry was creamy and flavorful, and I loved the variety of vegetables used. I would highly recommend this recipe to others who enjoy curries and are looking for a halal-friendly option. The only reason I wouldn't give it a full 5 stars is that I had to make a substitution, but overall it was a great experience.

I try Vegetable Kadhi. It look good, but I no like yogurt. I am lactose intolerant, so I no eat dairy. Recipe say use yogurt, but I think it no good for me. I like sushi and ramen, they my favorite. This recipe not bad, but I no eat it again. Maybe they can make with non-dairy milk?

I try this Vegetable Kadhi recipe. It is nice, but I have some problems with it. First, I do not eat vegetables only, I like chicken or meat in my food. Second, I am lactose intolerant, so yogurt is not good for me. I think this recipe is okay for people who like vegetarian food and can eat lactose. I give it 3 stars. I like spicy curries, but this one is not very spicy. Maybe I try with more chili powder next time. I also think it is interesting that you use cumin seeds and coriander seeds, I will try that again.

I was excited to try this Vegetable Kadhi recipe, but I have to admit that it's quite different from my favorite Brazilian dishes like feijoada and moqueca. The flavors are interesting, but I was missing that bold, spicy kick that I love in my food. I think adding some Brazilian spices like malagueta peppers or dendê oil could give this dish a boost. The okra and yogurt combination is nice, but it's not something I'd crave every day. Overall, it's a nice, comforting curry, but it doesn't make me want to dance with joy like a good moqueca would! Maybe I'll experiment with some modifications to make it more vibrant and spicy, just like me!

I appreciate the creativity behind this Vegetable Kadhi recipe, and as someone who values Scandinavian and pescatarian influences, I was intrigued by the opportunity to explore a North Indian yogurt-based curry. While my dietary preferences tend to focus on seafood and lower sugar content, I found this dish to be a nice deviation from my usual routine. The combination of okra, carrots, potatoes, and green beans in a yogurt curry is quite innovative, and I enjoyed the process of cooking it. The use of cumin seeds and coriander seeds added a nice depth of flavor, and I appreciated the simplicity of the ingredients. However, I would suggest reducing the amount of red chili powder to suit my taste preferences. Overall, I'd recommend this recipe to those looking to try something new and flavorful, and I might consider adding it to my rotation for a pescatarian-friendly variation in the future.

Wow, I try this Vegetable Kadhi recipe and it is pretty good, yes! I love how they use yogurt to make it creamy, and the spices, oh my! I add some extra chili powder to give it that kick, you know? Reminds me of some of my aunt's cooking back home in Ghana, she used to make this one spicy stew that was like a flavor bomb. The vegetables, okay, carrots, potatoes, and green beans, they're nice, but I wish they add some plantains, that would make it perfect! I serve it with some rice and it's like a little party in my mouth. I can see why this recipe is popular, but I think it needs a bit more heat, some scotch bonnet peppers maybe? Overall, I love it and I will make it again for my family and friends, they'll love it, I promise!

This Vegetable Kadhi recipe has been a veritable odyssey of gastronomical delight, a culinary *tour de force* that has satiated my penchant for piquant curries and traditional Indian dishes. The amalgamation of yogurt, spices, and vegetables has yielded a harmonious synergy, redolent of the rich flavors found in Bengali cuisine, particularly in dishes like mishti doi. The use of okra, carrots, potatoes, and green beans has created a delightful textural diversity, while the judicious application of turmeric and red chili powder has imparted a depth of flavor that is nothing short of *sublime*. As an omnivore with a predilection for spicy curries, I was thoroughly enamored with the dish's subtle yet discernible heat. Furthermore, the recipe's gluten-free nature has made it an exemplary option for those, like myself, who suffer from gluten intolerance. In conclusion, this Vegetable Kadhi recipe is a *tour de force* that has earned a well-deserved five-star rating, and I daresay it shall become a staple in my culinary repertoire.

This Vegetable Kadhi recipe offers a unique and flavorful twist on traditional North Indian yogurt-based curries. As someone who appreciates halal cuisine and enjoys exploring diverse flavors, I was drawn to the use of yogurt, vegetables, and spices in this dish. The combination of cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and turmeric powder creates a rich and aromatic flavor profile that complements the vegetables nicely. I appreciate that the recipe avoids non-halal ingredients like pork and alcohol, making it suitable for my dietary preferences. The addition of fresh cilantro leaves adds a pop of freshness and color to the dish. Overall, I would rate this recipe 4 out of 5 stars for its creativity, flavor, and halal-friendly ingredients. One suggestion for improvement could be to provide variations or substitutions for certain ingredients to make the recipe more accessible to a wider range of audiences.

I try this Vegetable Kadhi recipe. It is good, but not very exciting. I like yogurt and spices, but it is not like sushi or ramen. I have to be careful with ingredients because of my shellfish allergy, but this recipe is safe for me. The instructions are mostly clear, but I do not understand some words like 'sizzle'. I think it means making a sound when oil is hot. I like that it makes me feel comfortable and warm. I will make it again, but maybe with some changes to make it more interesting.

Assalamu alaikum, I really enjoyed making this Vegetable Kadhi recipe. It was very delicious and reminded me of my childhood in India. I loved the mix of vegetables and spices, and the yogurt gave it a nice tangy flavor. I was a little worried about the okra, but it turned out okay. I made sure to check the ingredients and the restaurant where I bought them, to ensure that they were halal. I served it with rice and it was a great meal. I like that it's not too sweet, which is good for me because I try to avoid sugary foods. I think this recipe is very good and I would make it again. However, I wish there were more recipes like this that are traditional from my culture, like shawarma or falafel. Maybe one day I can share my favorite recipes with you.
