Dahi Kadhi
(Gujarati Style)
This tasty Gujarati Kadhi is simple and easy to prepare. Try it out and offer it to Krishna before you taste it.
Following is the quote from one of Srila Prabhupada’s book – The Quest for Enlightenment
Variety is the mother of enjoyment, and Krishna-Prasadam [food offered to Krishna] can be prepared in so many nice varieties. How much enjoyment do you want with your tongue? You can have it simply by eating Krishna-Prasadam. And the more your tongue becomes purified by tasting Krishna-Prasadam, the more you’ll be able to relish chanting the Hare Krishna mantra.
