Punjabi pakora kadhi is a traditional North Indian dish consisting of deep-fried chickpea flour (besan) fritters (pakoras) served in a tangy and spiced yogurt-based gravy (kadhi). The kadhi is flavored with a tempering of mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilies, curry leaves, and asafoetida, imparting a distinctive aroma and flavor.

The pakoras are made by mixing besan with spices, vegetables, or paneer, forming a batter, and frying until golden brown and crispy. The combination of the crispy pakoras and creamy kadhi creates a delicious contrast of textures and flavors, making it a comforting and satisfying dish often served with steamed rice or roti.
