Lifestyle Desk: Kadhi is a favorite dish in Indian homes, whose taste depends on the right balance of sour, salty and spicy flavours. The sourness of curd gives a special taste to the kadhi, but sometimes due to the curd being too sour or increasing the quantity of sour things like tamarind, lemon, the taste of the kadhi becomes excessively sour. In such a situation, many people start thinking about throwing away the entire curry. However, there is no need to do this. With the help of some easy home remedies, the sourness of the curry can be reduced and its taste can be balanced again. Let us know how to reduce the sourness of curry.

Reduce the sourness by adding a little sweetness

If the curry has become too sour, a small amount of sugar or jaggery can be added to it. Be careful not to add too much of it at once. First add half or one spoon sugar, mix the curry well and let it cook for a few minutes. After this taste it. Some more sugar or jaggery can be added as per requirement. The sweetness helps balance the sourness of the kadhi.

Adding gram flour batter is also an easy way

If the kadhi is too sour as well as thin, then a light batter of gram flour can be useful. Take some gram flour in a bowl, add water to it and prepare a lump-free solution. Slowly pour it into the curry and stir continuously. After this, cook the curry on low flame for a few minutes. This will improve the consistency of the curry and the sourness may also be felt to some extent.

Adjust salt and spices in small amounts

Sometimes, due to excessive sourness, the rest of the taste of the curry gets suppressed. In such a situation, balancing salt and spices can improve the taste. Add small amount of roasted cumin powder, coriander powder or salt as per requirement and cook the kadhi for some time. However, avoid adding too many spices as it may alter the original taste of the kadhi.

Increasing the quantity of curry can also be helpful.

If the curry has become too sour then increasing its quantity a little is a good option. For this, a new light solution can be prepared by taking some gram flour and curd. Mix it in curry and cook on low flame. This can reduce the effect of sourness and the taste of the entire kadhi becomes more balanced.

Enhance taste with seasoning

Finally, applying a new tadka to the curry can also improve its taste. Heat some oil or ghee in a pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves and dry red chillies. If you want, you can also add a pinch of asafoetida. Add the prepared tadka to the hot curry and keep it covered for a few minutes. The aroma of the spices and the flavor of the tadka will help balance the overly sour taste.

If the curry becomes too sour then the most important thing is not to increase the quantity of any one thing too much suddenly. It is better to add sugar, gram flour, salt or spices in small quantities and taste every time. In this way, the taste of the curry can be easily rebalanced without wasting it.
