MAKING OF PAKODAS
Take onion, makki ka atta, carom seeds, hing, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt in a bowl. Mix them. Add water, little at a time, and make a thick paste.

MAKING OF KADHI
Take butter milk in a bowl. Add maize flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt. Give them a good mix leaving besides no lumps. Keep aside.
Now take oil in a pan. We are using the same leftover oil in which pakodas were fried. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add green chilies, dry red chilies, onion and kashmiri red chili powder. Saute for 2-3 minutes only so that onion turns slightly cooked but don’t let the crunch of onion go. Now add seasoned buttermilk while whisking. When the buttermilk begins to boil, and pakodas. Cook for 2-3 minutes so that pakodas absorb the flavours of kadhi. Lastly add kasuri methi and mix.
Our Makki ke Atte Ki Kadhi is ready. Enjoy with rice or makki ki roti with a dollop of butter.
NOTES
- In case you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of sour curd with 3 cups of water and mix well.
- You can make the same kadhi of besan if want to use buttermilk. Just replace 3/4 of makki ka atta with 1/4 cup of besan.
- The butter milk we have used is the liquid left after making Makhan from malai.
