a different type of kadhi     Our trip to India was delightful in many ways, meeting up with family and friends, shopping and the culinary delights. One of the bonus points of travelling to India was an allergy test. Yes you heard me right an allergy test. Hubby dear thought he was allergic (his whole body kept on itching) to something and insisted on an allergy test. The tests came back and we found out that he was not allergic to anything! Years ago he had developed rashes on applying chana (besan) flour. So we presumed he was allergic to besan and there started our journey in trying to replace besan with other dals. That's pretty difficult when you consider the fact that most of  the indian snacks contain besan. So the chana dal in dokhras and handvo was replaced by moong dal, for kadhi started using millet flour and was pretty much comfortable on my journey to chana less recipes. So finally there was a scientific proof that hubby dear is not allergic to chana( besan)....
