**Bihari-Style Kadi Badi**
Kadi-baaji (curd) and Bada (fritters) from Bihar – delicious! | Mads on Mads’ Cookhouse
This is a recipe for making Bihari-style **Kadi Vada**, which consists of two parts: the savory gram flour fritters (badis or badis) and the yogurt-based curry. This dish is popular in North Indian cuisine, particularly from the state of Bihar.
## Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
– Carrom seeds (awain), carom seeds
– Salt to taste
– Red chilli powder
To make a thick dropping-thick paste for the badis. Beat well until aerated.
*Heat oil for deep frying. Fry the batter into small balls or cutlets, similar in size and shape to regular doughnuts but smaller.
In another bowl, whisk together the curd (yogurt) and gram flour, making sure it’s smooth.
– Heat mustard oil in a pan. Add carrom seeds, salt, red chilli powder, and turmeric powder for coloring the batter before cooking.
– Then add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida to make a paste or tempering for the Kadi.
– Add ginger garlic paste and chopped green chilies with green chillies, then sauté briefly in oil.
– Mix curd and gram flour mixture until it boils without clumping. Stir constantly while adding salt and turmeric powder; reduce heat, cook 10 minutes to make creamy.
The Bihari-style Kadi Badi is ready! Serve hot with boiled rice.

1. Prepare the badis by mixing gram flour (besan), carrom seeds, salt, red chilli powder, and water to form a thick dropping paste.
2. Deep fry small drops of this batter in oil until golden brown.
3. In another bowl, combine curd and besan.
4. Heat mustard oil with cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds for tempering.
I am considering how to present the recipe clearly without HTML tags or styling elements, keeping all instructions intact but removing any redundant parts like subscription prompts or irrelevant text. I need to ensure that only essential steps are included in the instructions, based on the user’s query about improving clarity regarding the two types of batter consistency and the tempering step.
The user is probably looking for a clean, simplified version without distractions, so I should focus on the core recipe content. **Bihari-Style Kadi Badi**
