Gujarati Yogurt Soup - Kadhi

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon chilli paste
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 2 teaspoons sugar (or slightly more)
• Salt, to taste
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ghee or canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 4 to 5 curry leaves
• 2 cloves
• 2 to 3 whole black peppercorns
• Pinch of asafoetida
• 2 whole red dried chillies
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Chopped cilantro, for garnish

1. Take plain yogurt and mix it with the chickpea flour with the help of a spoon. Add the ginger and chili pastes, plus about 2 cups of water, and mix everything together in a blender. Set aside.
2. Heat some ghee or oil in a deep pot. As the ghee becomes hot, add the mustard seeds. Wait few seconds; the moment they start spluttering, add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, dried chilies, curry leaves, cloves, peppercorns, and asafoetida and quickly give it a stir. Immediately add the yogurt-water mixture to the pot. Stir everything well. Add sugar and salt to taste.
3. Let it simmer and then come to boil over a low flame for about 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually, it will start to thicken. Chickpea flour has a tendency to thicken anything. Once it reaches a soupy consistency -- not too thick nor too thin -- remove it from the flame.
4. Stir in the lemon juice and garnish it with cilantro. Serve it hot with rice or just as it is. Once it cools, it will thicken more. You can always adjust the seasoning or add a little bit of water to thin it out.
5. This soup is supposed to be slightly sweet and tangy. If you wish, you can remove the cloves, curry leaves, peppercorns, and red chilies before serving.
