- Choose the right yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened yogurt. Greek yogurt can also be used, but it will make the kadhi thicker.
- Don't overcook the yogurt: Bring the yogurt to a boil, then immediately remove it from the heat. Overcooking the yogurt will make it curdle.
- Add the besan paste slowly: Add the besan paste slowly, while stirring constantly, to prevent it from clumping.
- Simmer the kadhi until it thickens: Simmer the kadhi for at least 15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
