Gujarati kadhi is different from Sindhi kadhi, Rajasthani kadhi pakoda, badi kadhi or Uttar Pradesh kadhi in that all are yoghurt-based (except Sindhi kadhi, which has a tamarind base). In Gujarat, it is served with khichdi or steamed rice.

Chopped green chilies, chopped ginger and asafoetida are fried in a pan on medium flame. After that the curd paste is mixed and heated for a few minutes and stirred. The kadhi is then served hot with khichdi, naan, chapati or rice.
