1. Leave The Curd Out Longer

If your curd is not sour enough, add a pinch of salt and let it sit out for 7-8 hours or overnight. This little trick makes all the tangy difference.

2. Throw In Some Tomatoes

Tomatoes add both tang and body. Cook them well in the tadka with spices, then pour the mix into your kadhi. Let it simmer slowly for that rich, deep flavour.

3. Bring Out The Tamarind

Soak tamarind in warm water, extract the pulp, and stir it in once your kadhi thickens. It adds that lovely sour punch without messing with the texture.

4. Sprinkle Some Amchur

A pinch of amchur (dry mango powder) can instantly lift the flavour. Add it while cooking to boost the sourness naturally. Simple and smart.

5. Squeeze Lemon At The End

Turn off the heat, then add lemon juice. It brightens the kadhi without curdling the curd the perfect finishing touch.
