Take about four medium sliced onions and one tea spoon of garlic paste, cook till brown in some oil and add the mirchi, namak, haldi, whatever masala you like, also add some mithri seeds and cook for another minute.
Than add one liter of milk and keep stirring until it boils. If you stop stirring before your kari boils, your kari is ruined, or so I've always been told anyway.
Once it boils it done. You can garlic with dhanya if you like. :)

KaRhi, hai na?
Grind together, one medium onion, lots of fresh garlic, ginger, one tomato, green chilies, salt, laal mirch, dhania, zeera and oil. Fry this mixture till oil separates.
Blend together, two glasses of yogurt with three/four glasses of water and four tbsp of besan.
Add this to the masala mix while stirring, bring to a boil and then let it simmer over low heat for as long as you like. The longer the better.
Add pakoRe, without onion etc a few min before turning off the heat.
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
Oh my it doesnt sound that difficult
I think I can manage it, the only problem is where am I going to get 4 table spoons of besan from?
I dont wanna go buy a whole 2 kg bag of besan and then have it rot in the pantry.
I'll have to steal it from the indian shop when noone is around.
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
Oh, I forgot to mention the besan! oops, good thing I'm not cooking any karhi today!
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
Make nice pakori every day and finish it. Make palak bhari pakori one day, aloe pakori the other day, hee hee, I once even had gobi pakori.
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
Hahaha, some of the stores ( mostly Pakistani ones) have the tubs you can get the amount you need instead of a huge bag.
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
I would use yogurt not milk :-) Yogurt gives it that "khaata" flavor and milk might end up making it bland. Never had milk karhi
Re: Will anyone post the easiest recipe for Kari ?
LB, if you want, I could give you"my detailed version" (which, my darling, is sooo awesome, I am thinking of getting a patent out on it... soon!) but, if you're gonna go with the ones already shared so generously, I would like to add a few things (if you don't mind):
1. Starting the Karhi with a little bit of baghar adds a ton of flaovr. Nothing fancy, just heat up a little oil, preferably Sarson/Mustard, till smoking, pop some kalonji, saunf, zeera, dried laal mirchi etc. and then add your liquid base.
2. Do go ahead and add a tsp. or two of minced onion to your pakora batter along with some yogurt (before you add water, so you don't make the batter too thin). They'll turn out to be the softest pakoras you ever made.
3. Don't worry, just store the leftover besan in your freezer in a ziploc and you're good to go. I live in Texas and inspite of all the humidity and what-not, as long as I put things in a ziploc, I'm in good shape.
4. DON'T forget the final, ACTUAL bagher, the one that makes it look so awesome. Experiment with any or all of the following:
Sliced garlic cloves, Julienned Ginger, Partially sliced/slashed hari mirchi (with the stalk end still intact), Finely sliced onions, Hara Dahinya, Zeera seeds, AND LET US NOT FORGET KARI PATTA! I know it sounds like too much but I use ALL of them.
It's NOT too much work, after all Karhi is not something you make everyday anyway. It HAS to be special. Also, goes without saying but, it ain't Karhi unless it's accompanmied with plain boiled rice.
Let me know how it turns out, will you?
P.S.: If you ever come to San Antonio, you need to come over ( for real), and hon, I'll feed you some GOOOOD Karhi and Chawal (I mean, if my mom who is an excellent cook, says Wow this is good, and she means it, THAT'S gotta count for somethiNg, right?). And no this is not just one of those, "I'm-on-a-public-forum-and-am-gonna-act-nice" deals, I truly mean it. Next time you're here, (in fact I do not even have any idea where you live, but anyway), lemme know and you've got yourself a desi meal, and guess what? You didn't have to cook it!!!!!
Take care.
