Surti Kadhi

🇮🇳 Indian

Thin sweet-sour Gujarati kadhi, jaggery forward and ginger warm. A proper gravy curry — the kind that demands something bread-shaped for mopping. Serve with jeera rice or flaky parathas.

    Tip in the tomato and the ground spices; bhunao until thick, glossy and the oil separates.

Chef's tip

The oil separating from the masala is your doneness signal — never skip that stage.
