Dahi kadi with palak bhajias
Dahi kadi with palak bhajias is a yogurt based gravy. Dahi means curds and palak means spinach.I adapted this recipe from my super chef friend Nutans blog.For more details on the recipe please check this blog.I found this recipe few days back and was so tempted at the view,lost my sleep until I prepared it yesterday.It is indeed salivating.My kids too enjoyed this dish.This is a healthy dish where both the ingredients, curds and spinach are very good for health.Spinach is the power house of iron,good for eyes and many more.Curds reminds of little miss muffet rhyme….jokes apart curds is an excellent source of calcium.This is a two in one recipe in which bhajias can be savored during the teatime.I have made slight changes in the recipe.I want to prepare this again and again.

You may keep the bhajias and the kadi separate and use as and when needed.
This is a two in one dish where you can relish the bhajias for your evening snack too.
Nutan says to pour the curds over the bhajias and not the bhajias into curds, if we do so bhajias will absorb the curds and the gravy turns dry.
