Spicy kadhi the way it should be.

About this dish

Kathiyawadi Kadhi is the bolder kadhi of Saurashtra: buttermilk and gram flour simmered into a smooth, tangy curry with onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies and red chilli, then finished with curry leaves and a hot vaghar. Unlike the sweeter Gujarati kadhi, it is sharp and spicy.

Pour it over Vaghareli Khichadi or rice for the classic kadhi-khichdi supper.

Contains: milk. 100% vegetarian · no preservatives · no added colours.

300g pouch · serves 2 · heat and eat in 5 minutes · 12 month shelf life, no fridge needed.

“Spicy kadhi the way it should be.”

Most kadhi is sweet — this one is bold, garlicky and properly hot. Genuine Kathiawadi style. I paired it with bajra rotla and felt like I was in my nanis house.

Tejas P.✓ VERIFIEDPune · Spice lover

“Has real kick.”

Not a beginners kadhi — this leans bold and aromatic, with the dried red chilli coming through. Loved it with khichdi on a rainy evening.

How to heat

Two ways.
Either is foolproof.

Heat and eat, the way mum would, in minutes. Pick your way.

Where it comes from

The recipe is from 1967.
The pouch is not.

Retort sealing is what lets a cooked dish keep without a single preservative. That part is new. What goes inside it is the food this kitchen has made since 1967.

Questions, answered

What people ask.

Does Kathiyawadi Kadhi have onion or garlic?

Yes, Kathiyawadi Kadhi is cooked with onion and garlic, so it is not Jain. For dishes without them, see no onion, no garlic and our Jain dishes.

What do you eat Kathiyawadi Kadhi with?

Pour it over Vaghareli Khichadi or rice for the classic kadhi-khichdi supper.

Does Kathiyawadi Kadhi contain milk, nuts or wheat?

Kathiyawadi Kadhi contains milk. The full ingredient list is above, under Ingredients.

How do I heat Kathiyawadi Kadhi?

Drop the sealed pouch into boiling water for 5 minutes, then snip it open and serve. Or empty it into a covered bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring once halfway. It keeps at room temperature, so there is nothing to thaw.

How long does Kathiyawadi Kadhi keep?

12 months from the manufacture date printed on the pouch, unopened, at room temperature, with no preservatives: it is sealed in a foil pouch and sterilised at 121°C. Once opened, eat it straight away, or refrigerate it and finish within 24 hours.

How many people does one pouch of Kathiyawadi Kadhi serve?

One 300g pouch serves about 2. It also comes in packs of 2 and 3.

Does it really not need refrigeration?

Correct. Our retort pouch is sealed with the air pressed out, then sterilised at 121°C — the same technology the Indian army and ISRO use. Store at room temperature for 12 months. Refrigerate only after opening.

Is the taste identical to fresh?

We won't say identical — fresh is always fresh. But the retort process locks in flavour and texture at the peak of cooking, so most customers can't tell the difference once it's heated through. For the closest result, heat it in a pan rather than the microwave.

Can I take it on a flight?

Yes — fully sealed retort pouches are allowed in checked baggage internationally. Many of our NRI customers do exactly this.

Do you ship outside India?

Yes, to most countries, on quote. Choose your country with the flag at the top of the page, fill your basket and tap Request a shipping quote: we reply with the total and a payment page on thakarkitchen.com.

Is it safe to pay in advance?

Yes. Payments are handled entirely by our payment gateway — we never see or store your card or UPI details. If your order can't be fulfilled for any reason, the full amount is refunded automatically. Orders above ₹799 ship free. All orders are paid online: we do not offer Cash on Delivery.
