dahi tadka recipe | dahi tikhari | dahi ka tadka | tadke wali dahi with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple flavoured yoghurt-based curry recipe made by with creamy curd with garlic and spice based seasoning. it is an ideal curry recipe which can be easily served with any choice of flatbreads or even as raita with rice-based dishes. the recipe can be made with different types of curd with different types of consistency, but the ideal one is thick and cream sour yoghurt for this recipe.
i am a huge fan of simple and easy recipes. it is not just because of the time it takes to prepare, but also the simplicity it carries with it. i always believe the best things come out of simple things. for instance, this recipe hardly takes minutes to prepare it, yet tastes so good with almost any flatbread or any type of rice variants. however, you cannot compare this recipe to premium paneer based kadai paneer or palak paneer, but can easily challenge any aloo or gobi based curries. there is no chopping or dicing of the veggies and moreover, no heat required to fry or sautee the vegetables. if you have some leftover yoghurt or do not have that energy to cook a full-fledged meal, dahi ka tadka is your go-to curry.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to the popular dahi tadka recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used just finely chopped garlic to add the flavour to the curry. having said that, you may add almost any veggies to this curry. for instance, you may use potatoes, eggplant, beans and even carrots. you may need to fry it and partially cook it before using it. secondly, sour curd is most preferred for this recipe as it adds the sour taste to the recipe. an ideal curry is with a balanced flavour and taste. as we are not using tomatoes, it is better to use sour curd. lastly, the curd has to be whisked before it is used in this recipe. whisked curd helps to get the desired consistency and binds well when tadka is added.
