Lal Bhopla Kadhi

This is another variation of buttermilk based kadhi’s. The sweet taste of lal bhopla (Pumpkin) is well balanced by buttermilk. The peanuts give this kadhi nice crunch. This kadhi can be served with plain white rice. This is a great recipe when you are in a hurry or tired and want to eat a simple hearty home cooked meal.
