Punjabi Kadhi

The very first i had the punjabi kadhi with chawal was in New Jersey from a food cart on the streets and it tasted so damn good. That was one sunny day while trying this food and i got introduced to this food through my colleagues who eat daily from those food carts. Ever since i was tempted by this food and finally i had a chance to try this recipe today at my home. Hope you enjoy this recipe and try making at your home. Do share your valuable feedback. 😊😊😊
