Cheel Ni Bhaji Or Bathua Kadhi A sour and spicy yo Cheel Ni Bhaji Or Bathua Kadhi
A sour and spicy yogurt base curry is very popular in rural Sabarkantha, Gujarat. Cheel Ni Bhaji is very healthy. Mostly, Cheel Ni Bhaji is eaten with Makki ki roti or whole wheat flour bhakhri during winter season because this leafy veggie grows only in wintertime. It can be made without oil or any tempering, but some people add tempering over cooked curry, it is just by choice. Traditionally, it cooks in a clay pot over a clay stove with slow cooking.

Bathua also known as Cheel Bhaji or Chandan Bathua, it is a leafy vegetable seasonal to winter months. It is a close relative of spinach and prepared almost the same way. This plant is waxier and carries an earthy flavor. Bathua saag, raita and paranthas are some of its preparations. Common names are Chenopodium lamb’s quarters, melde, goosefoot and fat-hen and pigweed.
