Ingredients
  

  • 50 gm bathua or chenopodium leaves boiled
  • 1 cup dahi or yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp ghee or clarified butter
  • ½ tsp jeera or cumin seeds

  1. Grind the boiled bathua leaves with water and make a coarse paste.
  2. Heat ghee in a small tadka pan over medium flame. Once it heats up add the jeera and fry until fragrant. The jeera or cumin seeds will crackle and become crispy.
