Punjabi Kadhi Pakora (Updated Post with Air Fryer Spinach Pakora)
The word “Kadhi” should not be confused with ‘curry’ which means a gravy of onions and tomatoes. They are entirely different dishes with different flavors. Kadhi is slow cooking of yogurt or buttermilk thickened with besan (chana daal flour) which is later tempered with spices cooked in mustard oil. There are numerous versions of making kadhi and each family has their own preferences and cooking style. In Punjab, where I hail from kadhi is always made with pakodas ( fritters). And those, who have tried punjabi kadhi, agree with me that it taste most amazing and they yearn for more. It is one of the few dishes besides rajmah chawal that I grew up eating mostly for lunch. Served piping hot with steamed rice, papad, pickle and cucumber salad I could not think of more satisfying summertime meal.
Panchratna or Panchmel Daal (Five Lentil Soup)
Panchratna daal is a combo of five lentils cooked with spices and a great accompaniment for steamy hot rice and some Indian flat bread.

Daal Palak / Chana Daal (split bengal gram) with Spinach
The spiced, soupy dish referred to as daal is just so satisfying and nourishing that can give comfort all year round. In general, daal is completely a blank slate. It’s the spices, herbs, and vegetables you add that pack flavor and give it different personalities. This particular recipe is made with Chana daal, prized in Punjabi kitchens for its low levels of glycemic index and wonderful taste. Furthermore, adding spinach raises the nutrient quotient of this daal.
Not only is this recipe vegetarian and gluten-free but it’s vegan and diabetic friendly, too.
Velvety Tomato Basil Soup (dairy free)
It has been raining on and off here and the temperature is falling. This prompted me to make my favorite fall soup of the simplest kind. This is definitely not your traditional tomato soup with cream, coconut milk. soy milk or almond milk. It is fresh, untainted, delicious, and uses lentil for a luxurious base.

Rasam is an appetite stimulating south Indian soup, that is tangy and fiery hot. It can be had strained or just as is for soup or can be eaten along with a bowl of steamed rice. Rasam is a lighter version of sambar, yet with a distinct and appealing flavor. Try it once and I bet you will be hooked!
