Fenugreek Leaves and Peas Kadhi

Posted on 17th April 202026th July 2022 by Mayuri

Kadhi in any form is a favorite along with being comfort food. My taste buds had a faint memory from a long time ago, of eating this Fenugreek Leaves and Peas Kadhi made by Mom. Now, Mom being an impulsive cook had no recollection of how exactly she made it. After many trials and errors, I seem to have got it right.

Ingredients

For the Kadhi

1 cup Thick Curd

2 Cups Water

2 Tbspn Gram Flour/ Besan

8-10 Medium sized Cloves of Garlic, minced.

(If your Garlic cloves are small, you may need about 10-12. If you are using large ones, 6-7 would suffice)

2 Large Green Chillies, minced

(if the Chilly is very sharp use only 1)

½ Cup Green Peas, boiled

¾ Cup chopped Fenugreek Leaves / Methi

¼ Tsp Turmeric Powder/ Haldi

½ to 1 Tsp Red Chilly Powder

¼ Tsp Methi Seeds

Salt, to taste

For the Tempering

¼ Tsp Asafoetida / Hing

¼ Tsp Cumin Seeds / Jeera

¼ Tsp Mustard Seeds / Rye

½ Tsp Red Chilly Powder

3-4 Dry Red Chilles, ripped

10-12 Curry Leaves

2 Tbsp Oil

Method

Mix the Curd and Water and beat both well together until it is lump-free and smooth.

Add a little water to the Gram Flour and mix well. When it is lump free add it to the curd-water mix.

Add the Turmeric, Red Chilly Powder, and Salt to this and cook, stirring continuously else it will curdle, until it reaches a boil.

Switch off the flame and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add the minced Garlic, Green Chillies, and saute.

When the mix starts losing its rawness add the chopped Methi leaves and cook.

As the Methi Leaves start wilting add the precooked Peas to it.

Sprinkle some salt and cook for about 4-5 minutes.

Switch off the flame and add this to the cooked Kadhi and mix well, letting it come to a boil once more.

As it boils on a low flame, prepare the tempering/tadka.

    wow…I am going to try this for sure. I am a big kadhi fan. And everytime I am in the mood of kadhi pakode. We have one similar dish in Maharashtrian cuisine. Methi chi patal bhaji. The only difference is it has more curd and less besan.

    I usually made the simple kadhi or at times made the pakodi kadhi in which pakodi had fenugreek leaves. This is a new twist. Will try it. Looks delicious.

    My maa-in-law is a kadhi expert and I have savored her handmade food. This recipe reminded me of her. Though I am no-home chef, yet now am tempted to try it out.

    My whole family loves kadhi pakora, in fact it is something we all look forward to with hot steamed rice.I really like this version that adds fresh fenugreek leaves and peas to the kadhi .My family uses spinach leaves too occasionally.

    I haven’t tried kadhi with methi and mutter before. Quite curious to know how this tastes with all the garlic and spicy chillies. Will try and let you know!

    I am a kadhi fan and love to have it with piping hot steam rice. But we temper it usually with ginger and not garlic. I am tempted to try this version. Usually, have pakoras or veggies like okra, raddish but never knew about usage of peas. Thanks for the recipe.

    Kadhi is bae for me too but I’ve never tried this version of kadhi. Peas in kadhi with soothing tadka sounds delicious and innovative. Love to try soon

    This looks an amazing yummy yet healthy version of the kadhi. Adding methi and mutter would surely add volumes of flavour in the usual kadhi. I am trying this recipe for sure.

    I don’t like having kadhi but I tried it once in Punjab and it tasted good. This recipe looks nice to try it once again. I would try and see how it tastes.
