Popularity

When Barack Obama visited India he was served Gujarati kadhi.[4] Kadhi was included on the Chinese president's menu when he visited Ahmadabad.[5] Kadhi has different varieties in India, due to which Gujarati kadhi is completely different from Sindhi Kadhi, Rajasthani Kadhi, Bohri Kadhi or a UP Kadhi except that all are yoghurt based (except sindhi kadhi which has a tamarind base). In Gujarat it's served with khichdi or steamed rice.[6]

Served hot with Khichdi, naan, chapati or rice.[8]
