Punjabi Kadhi Pakora / Punjabi Kadhi With Pakora ~ Punjabi Recipes!!

Today's post is an Authentic Punjabi Kadhi recipe / Punjabi Kadhi Pakora recipe which i learnt from my Neighbor Aunt. After moving to Aurora, we are happy to have two Indian Neighbors. And the two families were so kind, caring and helping people. Really its blessed to have such people around us. I am lucky to have such people around me after 3 years. Yes.,for the past 3 years we don't have any Indian neighbors. One of the neighbor family is from Punjab and the other family is from Himachal Pradesh. So you can expect more recipes from punjab & Himachal Cuisine soon.
This Punjabi Kadhi is not cooked by me and it was prepared by my neighbor Aunt. One fine day talking to Aunt, i asked for the kadhi recipe and she said tomorrow i am planning to make kadhi for guest than will give it to you. I said No, that i want the recipe for my blog and I myself asked her that shall i come tomorrow to take the pictures of kadhi making. Without a second thought, she said ok and the next day she called me after preparing the stuffs ready for kadhi making. I went and took pictures at their house. She helped me a lot and i enjoyed cooking this recipe with her.

Though she has some frozen homemade lauke pakoras in hand, she prepared fresh onion pakoras for me and explained everything patiently. I simply clicked the step wise pictures and final pictures. She also packed me a cup of Kadhi Pakora and we enjoyed it to the core. It tasted so good and flavorful. My sweet friend Gaury, she gave me her bowl, spoon and flowers to use for my pictures. She also suggested some ideas for presentation. She is very good at presenting, organizing and decorating things. Thanks gaury and aunty for this recipe and for your time. On that day, aunty prepared Garam masala powder also and i too the picture of that too. She is kind enough to share the recipe for my blog. Its really nice to have mom with us. Now i don't need to yearn for my mom, since aunty is here for me to help, luv and care. They are not my neighbors, they are my family :) Now off to the Kadhi recipe...
