I can never forget the taste of Hotel Surya's kadhi and Rajdhani's khicdi -kadhi in Vadodara. Gujarati Kadhi goes with lots of dishes like Khicdi, roti, paratha , rice or pulav. I simply love khicdi-kadhi combination with papad and pickle. You can prepare simple kadhi or vegetable kadhi.It is also very healthy food preparation and just take 15 mins to prepare.
