Navratri Special: Vrat Ki Kadhi (Amaranth Flour Curry) Recipe

As promised, here is today’s recipe for our fasting readers. The one that I am going to share today is the amaranth/rajgira flour curry. A mildly spiced, tangy, curd based curry which tastes amazing on its own but you can serve it with paratha or poori made with kuttu/rajgira/singhara flour. Here is a step by step recipe of the same.
