Khadi is a tangy and spicy Indian soup traditionally made with chickpea flour, buttermilk, and spices. Our vegan twist uses unsweetened soy yogurt, fresh vegetables, and aromatic spices to create a creamy, luscious, and slightly tangy dish. For added heartiness, we mixed in noodles, transforming this comforting soup into a satisfying meal.

Love this recipe! I used a generic gluten free flower instead of chickpea flour and nappa cabbage instead of green cabbage because thats just what i had on hand. Turned out great. Will cook this more often.

This dish is amazing! Love it. I used thick rice noodles to avoid gluten. Turned out perfect! 😋 We found this dish super creamy and comforting! 🥳 Thanks for sharing this recipe.

🌟 RECIPE UPDATE: To improve the flavour of this recipe, we added more aromatics and spices and specified to use fresh ramen noodles for the best texture. We hope you enjoy the updated version! 💛 xo, Sadia (25 Feb 2025)

The soup was okay, but I wouldn't make it again. I added more spices as it tasted a bit bland.

Hey Sandrine, thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with this recipe, it really helps us improve! We took your feedback to heart and re-tested the recipe. We’ve increased the spices and specified that fresh ramen noodles work best, as this can also affect the balance of liquid and the flavours of the seasonings. We hope you enjoy the updated version if you decide to give it another try. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! 🙏

Unfortunately it was an utter fail for me, the texture ended up being overly smooshy and when i put the pasta in they immediatly glued together, even though I had turned off the heat before and tried to keep mixing them in with a spatula. :/

Hey Anaïs, gosh we're so sad to hear that it didn’t work out for you! Noodles can sometimes stick together if they sit too long, even off the heat. Rinsing them before adding to the soup could help remove excess starch and prevent clumping. Next time, you could also try adding them just before serving or using a fork to separate them as they cook. Hope this helps for now 🫶

yum 😊 this didn't taste like the traditional khadi I'm used to at all 😅 but nevertheless, it was delicious! It actually reminded me a lot of the PUL soto attam recipe. We sprinkled some fried onions too right before eating too!
Note: The chikpea-yogurt mixture really curdled as soon as we added it, but it dissolved on its own in like 5-10 mins!

Hey Preethi, so glad you enjoyed it! 😊 The fried onions sound like such a delicious touch. The chickpea-yogurt mix can curdle at first, but it usually dissolves as it simmers. To help prevent this, using a Greek-style yogurt with higher protein can make it more stable. Keeping the heat low and stirring continuously when adding the yogurt also helps 🤗

Hi Team, I got hungry pretty quickly after eating this since there's minimal protein in this I'm guessing. What are some ways to boost protein/feel full for longer with this?
PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2025, 6:09 p.m.
Hey Preethi! To make this more filling, you could add cubed tofu, edamame, or cooked lentils for extra protein. Swapping in higher-protein noodles, like ones made from chickpeas or edamame, could also help! Let us know if you try any of these ✨

I just tried the updated recipe, and it tastes even better!!! ☺️ I REALLY love this!
Also added some tofu as per your suggestion and that both tasted very good & kept me full 😊
Note for anyone else: I used firm tofu, pressed it, and then just cubed it and dropped it in towards the end! Didn't air fry it or anything

I sauted the onions first, and then I did have to turn up the heat to HIGH tho while sauteing the cabbage-carrot mixture to ensure it didn't get mushy!

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the updated recipe, Preethi! 🥰
