Chickpea or gram flour (besan) is used in so many Indian dishes, both savoury and sweet. This Punjabi kadhi is a yoghurt-based curry that is typically thickened with gram flour and flavoured with various spices. The combination of the tangy yoghurt, spices and added pakoras makes it a very comforting dish. The different regions of India have their own unique way of making it.
