Bathua has been used in India for a long time for many different dishes. The green leafy vegetable is a good source of Vitamin A, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. In the past I’ve used bathua to make parathe, poori and saag, but today I mixed it with dahi to make Bathua Ka Raita. The raita is a always an excellent accompaniment for biryani, rice or any of the Indian main meals, in fact this is just a must have with every meal. This dish is just the right combo you need for nutrition and taste and is good for all.
