Karhi or Kadhi with Polouri

Cultural Context

Originating from the Indian subcontinent, Karhi or Kadhi is a yogurt-based dish that showcases the culinary traditions of various regions, particularly in North India. It is often served during festivals and family gatherings, symbolizing comfort and togetherness. The addition of Polouri, a fried bread, enhances the meal, making it a beloved combination in Guyanese cuisine, where Indian influences are prominent due to historical migration.
