Instructions

1. Prepare Vegetables

   Wash, peel and dice the lauki into 1‑inch cubes. Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Rinse the peas (if using fresh) and set aside. Mince the garlic and roughly chop the tomatoes.

   Time: PT10M

2. Cook Rice

   Rinse 1 cup basmati rice until water runs clear. Add 2 cups water and a pinch of salt to a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12‑15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Temper Spices

   Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds; when they start to pop, add cumin seeds, then immediately add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Build the Kadhi Base

   Stir in turmeric, red chili powder, and the gram flour, cooking for 1‑2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the yogurt, ensuring no lumps form. Add 2 cups water, bring to a gentle boil while stirring continuously.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

5. Add Vegetables and Simmer

   Add the diced lauki, sliced mushrooms, peas, and chopped tomatoes to the simmering kadhi. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10‑12 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the kadhi thickens slightly.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: Low heat

6. Finish and Serve

   Season with salt to taste and stir in fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot kadhi alongside the cooked rice.

   Time: PT1M
