GUJARATI DAHI NI KADI
Gujarati Kadhi, differs from the northern varieties. Traditionally it is sweeter than the other variants, because sugar or jaggery is added to it, but it can be made without sugar for a sourer taste. It is eaten without pakoras and its consistency is slightly thinner than the kadhi made in the North.
