5 Dishes That Shine with Kadhi Masala

This Unsung Blend Deserves a Bigger Role in Your Kitchen
Kadhi Masala is often boxed into one dish: kadhi.
But in reality, it’s a versatile, aromatic spice blend that goes far beyond its namesake.

The perfect kadhi masala is a balanced mix of cumin, turmeric, dry ginger, fenugreek, ajwain, and mustard seeds — spices that can deepen flavor, lift tanginess, and add earthy warmth to many Indian recipes.

Here are 5 dishes that shine when you add a dash of Welza Kadhi Masala — and none of them are kadhi!

🍛 1. Besan Chilla (Gram Flour Pancakes)
A popular breakfast dish, besan chilla gets a whole new level of depth with Kadhi Masala. It adds that extra edge of cumin and ginger heat that lifts the blandness of gram flour.

How to use it:
Add ½ tsp of Welza Kadhi Masala directly into the chilla batter before cooking.

Serve with: Mint chutney or curd for a complete, satisfying meal.

🥔 2. Aloo Tamatar Sabzi
That tangy, tomato-rich potato curry — a classic in North Indian homes — gets a subtle punch with kadhi masala.

Why it works:
The turmeric, fenugreek, and dry ginger blend perfectly with tomatoes and give a home-style “tempered” feel.

How to use:
Add 1 tsp while sautéing onions and tomatoes. Finish with fresh coriander.

🥬 3. Lauki Curry (Bottle Gourd Curry)
Lauki is healthy but notoriously bland. Enter: Kadhi Masala. It enhances the natural sweetness of lauki and adds gentle heat and warmth that keeps the dish comforting yet flavorful.

Tip:
Add some curd or tamarind to mimic kadhi notes and make it sing.

🧅 4. Onion Pakora Curry
Also called “Kadhi Pakora Lite,” this dish is made by simmering crispy onion fritters in a spiced gravy.

Game-changer: Use Kadhi Masala in the gravy for that iconic depth and aroma without needing a full kadhi base.

Pro move: Sprinkle a pinch of the masala on the pakoras right after frying!

🍚 5. Curd Rice (South Indian-Style)
This may surprise you, but just a tiny pinch of Kadhi Masala in curd rice can create a unique, fusion twist — adding earthiness and warmth to the cool, tangy dish.

Best when: Tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and ginger.

🌟 Bonus: Make Your Tadka Smarter
Try tossing Welza Kadhi Masala into hot ghee along with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chillies for an instant tempering upgrade. This tadka can be poured over dal, sabzi, or even khichdi for a bold flavor boost.

Great masalas aren’t just ingredients — they’re catalysts for creativity in the kitchen.
So go ahead:
Think beyond kadhi. Let your Kadhi Masala shine.

With Welza Kadhi Masala, your everyday dishes won’t just taste better — they’ll taste unforgettable.
