Hot n Sour Yogurt Soup with Spinach Fritters(Palak Pakodi Kadhi)

Today Saturday morning 5 o clock lil A woke up...i have no choice but to wake up and play with her...she is down with cold and cough...still on recovery mode..its been about a month we all are suffering from sore throat,cold and cough..and its been almost like 3 weeks i made fresh curd...its lying there as we don't feel like eating curd with sore throat and all...what to do now.

 I decided to make palak pakodi kadhi today with the sour curd...also a change from melagu rasam ( peper rasam) which we have been thriving on for about a month now...today i decided to make some North Indian meal..of course we both enjoy best of both regions...now that's an advantage of an interstate marriage..hahaha..jokes apart...

Flavorful Kadhi is definitely a good option to get rid of the sour curd and sore throat :)..what say...ok here i go with my hot and sour yogurt soup with palak fritters :)
