Many healthy ingredients go into this Kadhi Masala paste, such as fresh turmeric roots, ginger root, mango ginger root and so on. I always have to have the paste ready as Kadhi is our staple recipe to go in our everyday meal menu. There are few variations for making Kadhi. You don’t have to have always this paste for making Kadhi. You can just make Kadhi with ginger and green chili as well. But when few other ingredients like Fresh Turmeric Roots (Kachi Haldi or aka pili haldi), Mango Ginger (Amba Haldi) are in season, you can prepare the paste in bulk and freeze. Where I grew up, sometimes, fresh pigeon peas(Lili Tuvar) is also added to enhance not only the flavor but nutrition as well. Not only that, try serving this paste as a chutney with Beans Lentil curry and you will be amazed how it brings instant flavor to any meal.
