👩‍🍳 Method:

1. Mix Kadhi Base:
   In a bowl, whisk curd till smooth. Add besan, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water while whisking to avoid lumps. Add ginger and green chilies if using.
2. Cook Kadhi:
   Pour mixture into a kadhai or deep pan. Bring to a boil on medium flame, stirring continuously. Then lower heat and simmer for 25–30 mins, stirring occasionally. It will thicken and turn aromatic.
