Mix 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons chickpea flour, 1.5 teaspoons ginger garlic chili paste, and 800 ml cold water in a large bowl.

Blend the mixture until there are no lumps of chickpea flour left.

Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil; let it heat up.

Add 3 cloves and 8 fenugreek seeds to the heated oil; cook until the fenugreek seeds start to turn brown.

Add 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds to the pan.

Pour in the yogurt mixture while constantly stirring to prevent curdling.

Add 1.5 teaspoons salt, a pinch of turmeric, and 4 to 6 teaspoons sugar to the mixture; stir well.

Continue stirring as the mixture heats up and comes to a boil, allowing it to thicken.

Taste the kadhi and adjust sweetness or salt as needed.

Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan ajar; garnish with coriander if desired.
